National Instruments Corp

Eligibility:

1. NI Multisim has a large database of electronic components, predefined schema, SPICE simulation modules and VHDL, support for RF circuits, PCB generator, among other features. Because all this takes place in a simple, integrated environment, however, it's much easier for students and electronics beginners to grasp, especially when it comes to.
2. Oct 23, 2020 Multisim Student 11.0 can be downloaded from our software library for free. Some of the tool aliases include 'Multisim Student Demo'. The file size of the latest downloadable installer is 152 KB. This software is a product of Electronics Workbench.

Students will need to enter a new serial number after renewal; however, lab and instructor licenses will continue to use the previous serial number. Multisim Included in Textbook If you have purchased a textbook that includes a copy of Multisim, your serial number can be found on the DVD sleeve included in the back of the textbook.

Software Overview:

LabVIEW, from National Instruments, is a graphical programming environment designed specifically for scientists and engineers who need to acquire, analyze, and present scientific data or to control automated processes.

Using LabVIEW, scientists and engineers can acquire data from a variety of sources. Data may be acquired from an instrument such as an oscilloscope or multimeter, or may be acquired through a data acquisition system. Instruments may be connected to a control PC running LabVIEW by a serial, Ethernet, USB, GPIB, or other port. Data may also be read in to LabVIEW from a data file.

Once acquired, LabVIEW can analyze the data by applying a combination of analysis functions. LabVIEW contains hundreds of analysis functions ranging from simple mathematical functions to advanced math (Calculus, ODE’s, linear algebra) and advanced signal processing (FFT’s, filters, Joint Time-Frequency Analysis).

The analyzed data may then be saved to a new file, played out through a signal generator, or shared across a network for others to view the results of the test. Reports may be generated in the form of a text file, Excel spreadsheet, or Word Document.

LabVIEW is a programming environment, but is unique because it is programmed using a graphical dataflow language. Icons representing each function are dropped onto the block diagram.

LabVIEW is used at many companies in the greater Seattle area, including Boeing, Microsoft, and Intel. More information about LabVIEW can be found at http://www.ni.com/labview.
