After playing around with each VOLTS/DIV and the SEC/DIV, you should see something similar to figure 5. At first you may not see anything, so click the CH 1 MENU and CH 2 MENU. Next I double-click the Tektronix Oscilloscope, click the POWER button, and run the simulation. Test it out for yourself! I have made an RLC circuit, shown in figure 4, and hooked up the Tektronix Oscilloscope – the input to channel 1, and the output to channel 2. In figure 3, I have changed the SEC/DIV dial on the far right side of the instrument, and you can see the new results on the screen.įigure 3: Tektronix Oscilloscope with new SEC/DIV value To open an existing file click on File/ Open in the toolbar. To save the schematic click on File /Save As. To create a new schematic click on File New Schematic Capture. Open/Create Schematic A blank schematic Circuit 1 is automatically created. These instruments work just like the ones on your lab bench, including the need to turn them on using the POWER button! You can click the buttons and turn the dials, just as you would on a real oscilloscope. MULTISIM TUTORIAL Start Click on Start All Programs National Instruments Circuit Design Suite 10.0 Multisim. In figures 1 and 2, you can see the front panel of the Agilent and Tektronix oscilloscopes, respectively. Place the components from the Instruments toolbar ( Simulate>Instruments), wire it into your circuit, and double-click the instrument to see the front panel. Let’s take a look at the simulated vendor instruments from Agilent and Tektronix. They allow you to change settings while running a simulation, and see the new results instantly. NI Multisim offers many simulation-driven instruments that are fully interactive.
