Teaching Tools Simulate Microcontrollers with Electronics Workbench MultiMCU With new functionality from Electronics Workbench, educators and students can program microcontrollers in assembly and experience how they operate with external peripherals and custom circuitry without requiring hardware. By pairing MultiMCU with Multisim and MultiVHDL, users now have the opportunity to simulate circuits that contain parts modeled with Assembly Language, SPICE, and VHDL. During simulation, users can step through the assembly code and view changes to the memory and registers of 8051/8052 microcontrollers. Learn more, and request a demo version. LabVIEW Textbook Bundle Now Includes LabVIEW 7.1 The LabVIEW Student Edition Textbook Bundle, available from Prentice Hall, adds the LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition software to Dr. Robert H. Bishop's popular introductory textbook, Learning with LabVIEW. Now students and educators have access to all the new features of LabVIEW 7.1, including new polynomial calculations, tools for exporting plots as images, Bluetooth support, and the navigation window. Learn more. New Courseware: Biomedical Instrumentation with LabVIEW and NI ELVIS Demonstrate biomedical instrumentation concepts to your students using LabVIEW and NI ELVIS. The courseware includes labs for biomedical measurements, biopotential electrodes and amplifiers, ECG, blood flow and blood pressure, and electrical safety. Download courseware.
