National Instruments

National Instruments transforms the way engineers and scientists around the world design, prototype, and deploy systems for test, control, and embedded design applications. Using NI prototyping/design tools, open graphical programming software and modular hardware, customers at more than 30,000 companies annually simplify development, and increase productivity.

With the NI Multisim circuit design and simulation software engineers can reduce prototype iterations and time to market, by identifying and correcting errors earlier in the design flow. Powerful analog and digital simulation ensures the reliability of a circuit prior to prototyping, speeding development. Multisim is combined with the NI Ultiboard layout environment for a cost-effective platform that ties into the Circuit Design ECOsystem for easier prototype fabrication, and the rest of the NI platform for verification and test.

  • Powerful and easy-to-use design simulation
  • 20,000+ device components supplied by leading manufacturers, including Analog Devices, National Semiconductor, ON Semiconductor and Texas Instruments
  • Customizable analysis and validation
  • Streamlined export to NI Ultiboard layout
  • Integrated prototype test and verification via NI LabVIEW
  • Easy export to industry-standard Gerber or DXF formats, fully compatible with Sunstone and Screaming Circuits' online ordering process
