1. Objective(s):
To explore the capabilities of Multisim Live.
2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):
The students shall be able to:
1. Identify the different components and tools of Multisim Live.
2. Create a circuit design.
3. Simulate the created circuit design.
3. Discussion:

National Instruments (NI) is a global leader in providing hardware and software products for electronic testing and
simulation. One of their software products is Multisim Live.
Multisim Live is an online SPICE circuit simulator that offers the same simulation technology used in industrial
research and can be used anywhere, anytime on any web-enabled device. It also offers an intuitive schematic
layout and simulation experience within a web browser, making it available anywhere that is internet-accessible. It
can be
learned on any device (cell phone, tablet, computer, etc.) without installing any software, It can test the behavior of
a circuit, demonstrate the application of a design, illustrate concepts, and perform and share interactive SPICE
simulations.

Multisim Live has the following features:

● Expanding the Multisim Experience: It is a new feature of Multisim (for desktop).
● Create Circuit Schematics on Any OS: Schematics can be accessed on any computing or mobile
device and shared from any supported browser.
● Interactive Circuit Simulation with No Installation: Interactive simulations can be shared without
installing any application software.
● Same Industry-Standard SPICE Simulation: Key tool in laboratories around the world, providing a
pedagogical environment powered by industry-standard SPICE for visualizing circuit behavior.
● Share Your Circuit Brilliance: Share your designs or explore circuits created by others, all within the
Multisim Live community.
● Complete Circuits Teaching Solution: The NI circuits teaching solution includes software, hardware,
and course material that covers analog, digital, and power electronics. Multisim Live in combination with
Multisim (for desktop),
● Stream Circuit Simulation from Multisim Live to Measurements Live: Simulate the theoretical
concepts in Multisim Live, prototype the actual circuit with NI ELVIS III, and compare the simulation with
real-world measurements inside the Measurements Live environment using the NI ELVIS III Oscilloscope.

7. Discussion of Results
Our group managed to create an account individually in order to access Multisim Live to perform the virtual
circuit designing and experiment. In performing the second activity, operating with Multisim Live has a quite
convenient and systematized Graphical User Interface (GUI). The graph shows that the spectrum is represented
by the green lines, the outer spectrum by the blue lines, the phase is represented by the dotted lines, and the
magnitude spectrum by the non-dotted line. The vertical axis of the graph is the magnitude and the horizontal axis
is the frequency. As per the definition of a low pass filter, we observed that the graph slowly goes down as it
surpasses 1 kHz since it will cut off a frequency greater than 1 kHz.
8. Conclusion:
In this laboratory experiment, we familiarized ourselves with the UI of the Multisim and created an RC Low
Pass Filter circuit design. A Low Pass Filter is a circuit that can be designed to modify, reshape or reject all
unwanted high frequencies of an electrical signal and accept or pass only those signals wanted by the circuits
design, we are successful in making the Low Pass Filter circuit design using the Multisim’s tools and functions.
Creating a circuit virtually using Multisim Live makes it much easier and more convenient to manipulate, observe,
and simulate the designed circuit in order to gather some data and results regards our laboratory experiment.
