Using the NI Elvis kit and Multisim software to design the exercies of measuring electical parameters for electrical and electronic technology student at Tra Vinh University
Abstract:
The NI Elvis integrated test suite is designed to be used mainly for education, which is a specialized device
for practical design of electrical circuits using Multisim software and observing parameters and graphs
through the Labview interface. It is a leading tool in teaching experimental exercises in many fields such
as: electrical equipment, electrical circuits, basic electronics, electrical measurement, microchips, power
electronics, communications, …The NI Elvis kit is compact but integrates up to 12 commonly used virtual
measurement devices such as: digital multimeter, signal display unit, oscilloscope, pulse generator, digital
reader and writer, adjustable power supplies, analyzers. These devices communicate with computers via
USB, are modern devices that help students learn both theory and practice. Multisim software is simulation
software with a relatively complete library of electronic components and is integrated with measuring
devices, pulse generators, three-dimensional simulation tools, etc., similar to the above 12 devices NI Elvis
kit. This research helps students at Tra Vinh University to apply theoretical formulas to calculate
parameters, simulate some electrical measurement circuits with Multisim simulation software and install
components on NI Elvis circuit boards to observe parameters using Labview interface.
