NI ELVIS Applications and Courses

NI ELVIS has complete integration with the NI Multisim circuits teaching environment to help professors bridge the traditional gap between theory and laboratory. Using the pedagogical features of Multisim and NI ELVIS, students can learn analog, digital, and circuits concepts from textbooks to the laboratory.

• Intuitive and interactive circuit capture simulation environment
• Powerful yet easy-to-learn visualization and analysis capabilities to teach circuit behavior
• Integrated correlation of theoretical and laboratory measurements with NI ELVIS

NI ELVIS for Circuits
