NI releases Multisim 12
21 March 2012
Design Automation
National Instruments has introduced Multisim 12.0 with specialised editions for circuit design and electronics education. Multisim 12.0 Professional Edition is based on industry-standard SPICE simulation and optimised for usability.
Engineers can improve design performance to fit their applications by minimising errors and prototype iterations with Multisim simulation tools that include both customisable analyses developed in LabVIEW system design software and standard SPICE analyses and intuitive measurement instruments. Multisim 12.0 also provides unprecedented integration with LabVIEW for closed-loop simulation of analog and digital systems.
Using this all-new design approach, engineers can validate field programmable gate array (FPGA) digital control logic alongside analog circuitry (such as for power applications) before leaving the desktop simulation stage. Multisim Professional Edition is optimised for layout routing and rapid prototyping needs, making seamless integration possible with NI hardware such as the reconfigurable I/O (RIO) FPGA platforms and PXI platforms for prototype validation.
Multisim 12.0 Education Edition incorporates features specialised for teaching and is complemented by a complete solution of hardware, textbooks and courseware. This integrated system helps educators engage students and reinforce circuit theory with an interactive, hands-on approach to investigating circuit behaviour.
With the addition of new capabilities, Multisim 12.0 can now also facilitate student comprehension of topics in mechatronics, power and digital curricula, expanding the use of a single environment throughout engineering education. Widely implemented throughout academia, technical colleges and four-year universities choose Multisim for its interactive components, simulation-driven instruments and integration to the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (ELVIS) and NI myDAQ educational hardware platforms.
