Multisim Question

Hi,

Is there anyone who use Multisim as your designing tool? I cannot find books
on it in the nearby bookshops. So studying it is hard.

I have to design a 8-bit binary comparator. To check if it works properly, I
will need 2 8-bit input data whose value can be changed easily. I find using
the word generator is not very easy for my simple need. I am wondering if
there is a easy way for it.

Thanks very much in advance.

Regards,

Olive

Yes, it would be easy to simulate on Multisim! The tool is graphic and you
just enter the schematic, provide a simulated signal (switches even) and
'run', you can see it change as you change the stimulus. It is a useful
and easy to use tool!

Use 16 switches, the word generator is confusing to use. I've used Electronics
Workbench (now Multisim) in a Windows 3.11 version (5.1.2).

You could design a 16 bit counter on the same schematic page as your
comparator and feed the counter's input with a pulse generator. Then wire the
outputs of eacg stage of the counter to your comparator's inputs. The first
eight bits to one comparator section and the last eight bits to the other. That
way you will automatically test each and every possible input combination.

Simulate your test equipment right along with your simulated circuit!
