MULTISIM 10 SEMINAR     Register

Jointly organised by Elektor Electronics and National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group

The hands-on seminar will be held on Thursday 27 September 2007
at the National Instruments Office in Newbury, Berkshire.

In cooperation with National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group, Elektor Electronics is organising a hands-on seminar for its readers, to be held on 27 September 2007. This seminar will focus on using Multisim 10 to design, simulate and measure electronic circuits. Participants will be given ample opportunity to obtain personal experience with using these techniques on a PC.

As we have frequently pointed out in Elektor Electronics, computer-assisted design (CAD) and simulation of electronic schematics is nowadays an indispensable part of developing a circuit. This allows potential design errors to be recognised at an early stage, long before any real prototypes have been built. At this seminar, several specialists from National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group will show you how simulation and virtual instruments can assist you in the design process and enable you to reduce development time. Application of SPICE models and advanced analysis methods such as Monte Carlo analysis are also on the agenda. All of this will be illustrated using the versatile Multisim 10 program.

The seminar will also feature several demonstrations of National Instruments instrumentation products to show how they can be used to make measurements on circuits and how to set up measurement procedures.

Several computers will be available at the seminar so participants can try out all of this ‘hands-on’.

The following topics will be addressed during the seminar:

• Introduction to SPICE modelling in Multisim for developing schematics;
• Using LabVIEW and virtual instrumentation to create interactive simulations;
• Entering real stimulus data for use in simulations;
• Various types of analysis (AC, DC, Monte Carlo, etc.);
• Design verification of prototypes, in which simulation results are fed into real circuits;
• Using Ultiboard to design PCB layouts;
• Using LabVIEW and NI instrumentation hardware to set up hybrid prototyping systems;
• Using NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (ELVIS) to create a circuit and link it to a PC.

Register NOW, the number of seminar participants is limited to 30!
