==Before we start==
In the lab class, we need to set up the Linux command line environment, which allows
us to use ModelSim.

The command for the environment choices is cad. The command must
be entered twice.

To select ModelSim, choose option 2 (Mentor Graphics 2021 EDA version).

Another important note to remember is that ModelSim
doesn’t support CTRL+c shortcut.</span>

==Starting ModelSim==
To start the program you must insert command

'''vsim &'''

The & in the end of the command shows that the program is run in the backround and the<br>
promt is returned immediately. It means that to run another process you don’t have<br>
to open a new command line window. You can use '''&''' behind every process command.

 To invoke the simulator:
-* Simulator->Start Simulation

-* In the design tab find work library.

-* In the work library find the topmost design’s testbench you wish to simulate.
