AUSTIN, TX – National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group has released Multisim 10.0 and Ultiboard 10.0, the latest versions of its interactive SPICE simulation and circuit analysis software used for schematic capture, interactive simulation, board layout and integrated testing. This platform reportedly extends the flexibility of virtual instrumentation to the electronics designer's benchtop, bridging the gap between test and design functions.

Engineers can use Multisim 10.0 to interactively build circuit schematics and simulate circuit behavior. According to NI, Multisim abstracts the complexity of SPICE simulation so the engineer does not need in-depth SPICE expertise to quickly capture, simulate and analyze new designs, making it especially useful in education.

Multisim 10.0 and Ultiboard 10.0 are said to introduce a large number of design features with a focus on advanced simulation tools, an enhanced component database and an expanded user community. The component database includes more than 1,200 new components and more than 500 new SPICE models. Additional enhancements include a Convergence Assistant that automatically adjusts SPICE parameters to correct simulation errors, enhanced data visualization and analyses, including a new current probe instrument and updated static probes for differential measurements.
 
Multisim 10.0 can be purchased as a complete, integrated design and test platform that includes Ultiboard 10.0 and National Instruments LabVIEW SignalExpress, the interactive measurement software that improves productivity by controlling all instruments on a benchtop. Multisim 10.0 is currently shipped in English; localized German and Japanese versions will be available in mid-2007.
