schematic capture and simulation
program which is part of a suite of
circuit design programs, along with NI
Ultiboard.

NI MULTISIM 14.2 APPLICATION

PART 1:
I.
INTRODUCTION:

- Multisim is one of the few

circuit design programs to
employ the original Berkeley
SPICE based software
simulation.

- It uses to emulate some experiments related to electric circuits.

NI MULTISIM 14.2 APPLICATION

PART 1:
II. APPLICATION’S HISTORY

- Multisim was originally

called Electronics Workbench and
created by a company called 
Interactive Image Technologies and
continued to be developed.
 8

NI MULTISIM 14.2 APPLICATION

PART 1:
II. APPLICATION’S HISTORY

- 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.

 10

Generally, there are 3

tool areas including:

- Parts
- Probes
- Tools

These toolbar help

our sketching
electrical circuits
process much more
convenient instead
of doing 4 or 5 steps.
 11

Click on the symbol on the top left of the screen called “Place Basis”
 12

EX: Click 1 click on the Resistor to change its name and value. Remember that
the values of different resistors can be the same but the names can not.
 13

Similarly, click Here to open the Place Source

 14

EX: Drawing a DC_POWER is similar to a Resister.

 15
How to connect these three elements?

Step 1: Bring the cursor here, it

changes in to the “Plus Sign”.
Step 2: Drag the cursor then click
one click at every anchor.
 16
Note: NI Multisim CAN’T work unless we place a ground connection.

Step 1: We click “Place

Source”
Step 2: Choose “Ground
Connection”
Step 3: Drag the cursor to put
the “Ground Connection”
there.

- Blue points are nodes 0.

- Red points are nodes 1.
- And Black points are nodes 2.
* Right rules need that nodes
by the way.

How to measure the values of circuits and voltages?

 18

Stop Simulation Process

It doesn’t really show what is happening here!

 19

There are some different

equipments and meters:
- IV analyzer
- Spectrum analyzer
- Network analyzer
- Agilent function generator
- Agilent Multimeter 

If you want to see the values of circuits and voltages, you will need a meter.
 20

Step 1: Double Click

Voltage

Ground
Connection

EX: Measure the voltage value

 21

Step 4:Click here to do the Simulation

Step 2: Connect these two

points to the circuit

Step 3: Push ON to start the

Multimeter and push DCV (because
we measure the voltage value)

EX: Measure the voltage value => too complicated

 22
HOW TO MEASURE THE VALUE OF VOLTAGE AND CURRENT MORE
EFFECTIVELY?

Step 3: Do the simulation

Voltage Probe Current Probe

1st click
2nd click

3rd click
and then “Apply”
Step 1: Drag the Voltage Probe and
stick it on the electrical circuit.
Step 2: Double click on it and the
table on the right will appear.
 23

NOW
Current Probe

Click then Drag the

Current Probe and
POOR DESIGN stick it on the circuit
like the picture

LACK OF ADAPTABILITY

Then, repeat the same steps as measuring the voltage value.

PART 3
MEASSURING
VALUES OF CURRENT
- Bui Đuc Tien -
 25

Look at the circuit below

 26

•Placing power source:

The power source
components are located in
the source group which can
be accessed by opening the
source symbol or select
at the top left of the software
then click on “component”
Then, “Select a component”
window should appear.
 27

Now in the “family” box,

select then all
power sources will be listed
in the “conponent” box.
 There are two types of
basic source in NI Multisim
that we will see in our
presentation: the AC_Power
(Alternating current) and the
DC_Power (Direct current).
However in this experiment,
the 12V DC_Power will be
used.
 28

Placing resistor
 Select “Place” ->
“component” and the
“Select a Component” box
will appear.
 You have to select the
“Basic” group and the
“Resistor” family. In the
"Component” type the
value of the resistor – in
this case 1K .
 29

Placing resistor
 Click “OK” to place the part.
 Move your mouse to the location
you want to place then left-click
 After placing a component, the
“Select a Component” box pops
up in order to let you choose the
next component.
 When you finished placing all
components, right-click to
cancel placing and “Select a
Component” box will not pop up.
 30

Design the circuit

Your design should look like this

After all components are put in

an order, left-click on the edge of
a component then move your
mouse the the edge of another, a
red line which is the wire will
appear and one left-click should
finish the job.
•Step 1 31
•Step 2 32
•Step 3 33
•Step 4 34
 35
•Step 5
 36
•Step 6

Magnificent! The
circuit is now
complete and
ready to start
the simulation!
 37
NOTE
 38

 Measuring the value of circuit’s current

In order to run the circuit we can use both and “F5” button then
our simulation only end when the button is pressed.
 39

- After the simulation start, double-

click on a multimeter to see the
value of the current.

- If the user need to observe the

value on the wire, there is a tool
called “current” can be
placed on the wire and show the
value of it.
- The caculated values of
Multimeter_XMM1 is 4mA and
Multimeter_XMM2 is 8mA.

- We can check the values manually by using KCV (Kirchhoff’s Current

Law):
 40
 Example: Loop 1:
We have R1B // R1C and R1B,R1C connect to R1A in series.
Solution:
 41

Changing the value of components

- Double-click on the component

need to change its value and a
box will appear.

- The box will allow you to

change any value available
inside it.
 42
For example: Then select “OK”
and the value of
resistance inside
resistor R1 will be
changed from 1k
Ohm to 4 Ohm.

Now the current’s value inside the circuit has been changed.
 43

For example:

PART 4 & 5
RESISTOR AND DEPENDENT
SOURCE
- Tran Dinh Hoang Ky Anh -
 45

Measure resistance with the Ohmmeter:

For example, there is a network with three resistors and we are
looking for the equivalent resistance looking into this pair of
terminals.
We pull out the
multimeter and
establish
connections of
the mount of the
multimeter
across the pair of
terminals.
 46

We then double-click and select the Ohm meter mode. After that,
we run the simulation and for the circuit that works out to be 1.5
kilo ohms.
 47

Dependent sources:
Definition: In the theory of electrical networks, a dependent source
is a voltage source or a current source whose value depends on a
voltage or current elsewhere in the network.
Classification and their NI symbols:
 48

How to use Dependent sources in NI circuit?

Here is an example of a circuit that uses current-controlled Voltage
Source which consists of 5 resistors (2,5,10,20 ohm), a independent
source of 20V and a independent source which the gain is 8.
 49

To put in the dependent source you must scroll down toward the
bottom of the menu. It says modeling blocks.
 50
- Then we click current-controlled Voltage source

So in the picture, the current through the 5 ohm resistor is

what controlling the source so that is the current at R2. We
click Analysis and annotation in the Menu then click Current.
 51

- Then we place it at R2. The current right here determines the

voltage, the gain is 8.
 52

Because the gain is 8 so we change the dependent source to 8.

 53

If you done right, the circuit should look like this

(Comparing to the original picture).
 54
We are expecting the voltage across the 20 ohm resistor is 16V and the
10 ohm resistor is 10V. To check if this is true, we put voltage probe which
you can find at Analysis and annotation in the Menu on both of them.
 55
The current running through the dependent source should be 1,2A. If that’s the
case when we run the simulation the voltage probe should give us 1,2A.
Note that before running the simulation, make sure you have place the ground
wire.
 56

Click Interactive then choose DC Op. After that you just press start.
 57

The probes should give us the exact values that we expected.

PART 6

OSCILLSCOPE
- Hoang Pham Minh Tri -
 59

Let’s begin! How to place an oscilloscope?

- Select the fourth device

on the toolbar on the left
- Connect the
oscilloscope into the
circuit
- Double click on the
oscilloscope to see the
graph.
 60

NOTE:
You can change
Ox, Oy axis by
configuring the
timebase and
channel A.
 61

How to make a half wave rectification?

Some device is DC current required. We have to rectified AC current to DC
current by using diodes.
- Place AC source, load and ground source
- Place a diode
1/ Place  Component  Diodes
2/ In the box below Component select
1BH62 diode
3/ Place it in to the circuit
4/ Connect the oscilloscope

The diode almost blocked one direction of the current.
