Teaching platform now offers USB plug-and-play connectivity

28 June 2006 Test & Measurement Products & Solutions

NI Elvis, a design and prototyping teaching suite from National Instruments, now offers USB plug-and-play connectivity and LabVIEW Express VIs for point-and-click configuration.

With the incorporation of USB M Series data acquisition devices into the NI Elvis product offering, educators have the plug-and-play simplicity of USB, as well as tight integration with LabVIEW, NI SignalExpress and Electronics Workbench Multisim 9 and MultiMCU, to teach science and engineering concepts in multiple disciplines.

NI Elvis (educational laboratory virtual instrumentation suite) integrates theory and simulation with a hands-on design and prototyping platform based on the LabVIEW graphical development environment. The teaching platform incorporates 12 different integrated instruments. This says NI, reduces the cost of lab equipment while reinforcing theory through hands-on learning. In a single platform, students have access to instruments such as an oscilloscope, digital multimeter, function generator, power supply and bode analyser, and each comes equipped with Express VIs for point-and-click configuration.

Lab setup and maintenance is simpler. Students now can use their personal laptops to test and prototype their applications and take advantage of USB M Series data acquisition devices to perform data acquisition.

LabVIEW 8 and the latest enhancements included in the NI Elvis 3.0 software integrate with Electronics Workbench Multisim 9 and MultiMCU - a widely-recognised schematic capture and SPICE simulation tool. This gives students a complete circuit simulation, design and prototyping experience. With Elvis 3.0, students also can simulate microcontrollers and quickly obtain measurements using NI SignalExpress interactive measurement software.

Teaching institutions can customise NI Elvis by ordering bundles that best suit their classrooms.
