How to run PSpice using the Windows Terminal ServerTo run terminal server from outside the ECS network, you will first need toconnect using VPN (Virtual Private Network). If you do not already have VPNinstalled on your PC, you can get it together with instructions on how toinstall and use it (for free) from :http://www.csus.edu/vpn/After connecting to the campus network using VPN, you are ready to connect to theterminal server. To connect under XP, use the "remote desktop connection" whichis located under accessories in the start menu. (On some PCs this will be undercommunications in accessories.) Once you start a remote desktop connection, youwill be prompted for the name of the server you want to connect to. The name ofthe server is kronos.ecs.csus.edu After entering this, you will see a loginprompt for the Windows Terminal Server. Login using your ECS user id, including"ecs\" in front of your user id (e.g., "ecs\pheedley"). You should now see thedesktop for a "virtual PC". To run PSpice, look under the Start menu and runStart\Programs\Cadence SPB 15.7\Design Entry CIS. You should see PSpice open onyour desktop. You can start a new project using the command File\New\Project
Be sure to give it a name, and specify "Analog or Mixed A/D" (the top button)
Also, note that by default your data will be stored under T:\CAD_HOME, which is atemporary area. WARNING! If you store your project here, it will be lost whenyou log out! Instead, you can store it in your gaia account by changing the"location" to \\GAIA.ECS.CSUS.EDU\YOUR_ECS_USERID. If you don’t see this in thepull down list of drives, try double clicking the icon on your desktop labeled"My Home Space on Gaia" first. You can also store your project on a USB flashdrive. However, to do this you need to open "Options" in the remote desktopconnection before connecting, and select "Disk Drives" under "Local Resources"
That’s all it takes to run PSpice remotely!However, there are special steps necessary for Vista users to connect to theterminal server. The following notes were provided by Patrick Brannan in ECS IT:I have done some testing with Vista accessing Windows Terminal Services. Vistauses RDP version 6.0 and the Windows Terminal Server uses RDP version 5.2. Myinitial test with a Vista client connecting to the server, Kronos resulted inextreme poor performance and an unusable remote desktop session. The culprit forthis poor performance in RDP is due to a feature in Vista called "Receive WindowAuto Tuning". To fix this problem Vista users will need to disable this featurethrough the following procedure:http://computerbits.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/vista-auto-tuning/ 1. Open up an elevated command prompthttp://computerbits.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/vista-elevated-command-prompt/ 2. Enter the following command to disable auto-tuning netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabledYou can use this command to view the states of the TCP global paremeters

Open the PSPICE design manager on your PC by typing design manager in the search bar. From the design manager click on the run schematic button to open a new blank schematic as shown in the figure below,
Choose PSpice – Markers – Voltage Level. The Voltage-level probe sticks to the cursor, as shown in Figure 3. Click at the point where you want to see the result, which in this example is the OUT node shown in Figure 4. PSpice for TI displays the simulation result you are interested in, as shown in Figure 5.
To help students with the learning process, we offer a free version of PSpice via the OrCAD Academic Program. The academic version is a complete suite that includes the Capture and PSpice tools to assist students in lab and with their coursework.
The Terminal Server will initially support three encryption levels: low, medium, and high. Low encryption will encrypt only packets being sent from the client to the Terminal Server. This "input only" encryption is to protect the input of sensitive data, such as a user's password.
