Features Designed Specifically for Education
Whether you teach university, college or high school electronics, in the classroom or delivering training via distance education, Multisim can help to transform your program into an exciting multimedia learning environment. The following education features of Multisim allow teachers to personally customize Multisim for use in the classroom by students, in the laboratory, or at home.
 
Program Options
Customizing Multisim to deliver your curriculum is critical to its overall success in your program. Powerful program options allow you to customize what a student has access to or sees within the program. Program options such as enable/disable printing, and hide instruments and component properties all enable you to control the students interaction with Multisim.
 
Circuit Restrictions
Circuit Restrictions permit you to further customize a specific circuit to control what the student sees with that specific circuit. For example, Multisim allows you to hide faults within a circuit, lock up a subcircuit, hide component values, hide parts bins or lock out specific analyses.
 
Passwords
A password can be assigned to a circuit to restrict access to its components, values, program options, and circuit restrictions that have been set during the original design of the circuit.
 
Sub-circuits
Sub-circuits or "black boxes" can be created to simplify a circuit or to hide a group of components from view. Sub-circuits can be used very effectively to develop student problem solving skills by assigning "solve the sub-circuit" problems.
 
Troubleshooting
Multisim is a powerful tool in the teaching of troubleshooting skills. Using Program Options and Restrictions, troubleshooting circuits can be created for a wide range of exercises. Create and then open a circuit, short a circuit or mislabel components. Then hide component values, labels or even parts bins.
 
Remote Control
Multisim contains a unique Remote Control feature that allows a Multisim user to set up a bi-directional link with another user over which each person can control what the other user sees (eg. a student and a tutor). Remote control also permits a real-time, point-to-multipoint internet or intranet broadcast. Create a schematic, make changes to your design, or display simulation results and session members will see on their monitors exactly what you are doing on your PC. The new capability gives the opportunity to provide training, instruction or tutorial support at a distance, no matter whether your student needs help in his home, around the corner or around the world.
