MULTISIM

Multisim (formerly MultiSIM) is an electronic schematic capture and simulation program which is part of a suite of circuit design programs, along with NI Ultiboard. Multisim is one of the few circuit design programs to employ the original Berkeley SPICE based software simulation. Multisim was originally created by a company named Electronics Workbench, which is now a division of National Instruments. Multisim includes microcontroller simulation (formerly known as MultiMCU), as well as integrated import and export features to the Printed Circuit Boardlayout software in the suite, NI Ultiboard.Multisim is widely used in academia and industry for circuits education, electronic schematic design and SPICE simulation.

I was so excited for the first time, I wasable to build a circuit in the computer software . It was so fun when the circuit worked . Otherwise, I would feel so frustrated when the LED not light up or buzzer didn't gave out any sound . But, I think ,, for the first time using this program, I managed to used it properly .

DO YOU KNOW ??

Multisim was originally called Electronics Workbench and created by a company called Interactive Image Technologies. At the time it was mainly used as an educational tool to teach electronics technician and electronics engineering programs in colleges and universities.

National Instruments has maintained this educational legacy, with a specific version of Multisim with features developed for teaching electronics.

In 1999, Multisim was integrated with Ultiboard after the original company merged with Ultimate Technology, a PCB layout software company.

In 2005, Interactive Image Technologies was acquired by National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group and Multisim was renamed to NI Multisim.
