New Multicap 8 Schematic Capture

Toronto, Ontario, CA, March 7, 2005 – Electronics Workbench, a National Instruments company (Nasdaq: NATI), announces Multicap 8 with enhanced schematic capture functionality. With its built-in intelligence, Multicap reduces schematic creation time and adds support for even more complex designs.

Innovations such as modeless operation and auto-connect passives save time and increase flexibility, while graphical feedback ensures that all connections are made as intended. Carefully conceived wiring functionality further reduces design time – for example, simply touching a component’s pin(s) to a wire or other component automatically creates a connection. Tool-tip style circuit annotations provide an easy and a logical method of capturing and sharing design notes. Variant Support facilitates the variable manufacturing of a single design.

Other Multicap 8 enhancements include robust Bus Support for advanced designs and powerful support for Hierarchical Designs. Multicap 8’s Bus Vector Connect and Bus Merge functions provide an industry-unique capability which save significant time. Additional bus enhancements include a new off-page, hierarchical and sub-circuit bus connectors capability with an improved ERC. Component browser enhancements make finding parts even faster.

Circuits can be annotated with visual error makers and an informative “Zoom to Error” feature helps to capture errors before they become design problems. Multicap 8’s internal spreadsheet is now completely compatible with MS Excel and components in circuit can be automatically saved to the parts database. Multicap 8 is available from $995, and can be purchased stand-alone from Multisim 8. Receive a free 45-day trial of Multicap 8 by downloading Multisim 8 at: http://www.electronicsworkbench.com, or by simply registering on-line to receive a copy on CD http://www.electronicsworkbench.com, or call 800.263.5552 for further information.
