Introduction to the Multisim 3D Environment
Help students ease into hardware prototyping with the NI Multisim 3D breadboarding environment. You can choose from three different 3D environments: common breadboard, the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS I), and NI ELVIS II.
Students can use these environments to prototype the circuits they have captured and explored through simulation, VIs, and analyses in a risk-free virtual environment before they attend their hardware labs.
This helps them see how components look in real life and learn how a breadboard works. Students can interact with the environment by zooming in and out and panning.
The breadboarding environment also provides guidance on where to make connections and helps students check their final breadboards with the schematics they have captured using the Design Rules and Connectivity Check.
Download the following PowerPoint presentation featuring an NI ELVIS II 3D environment example for information on how to use the 3D environment. For additional resources, refer to the user manual.
