CIRCUIT ON COMPUTER????THINK ABOUT IT....

 MULTISIM AND A LITTLE INFORMAION ABOUT ULTIBOARD...
HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT!!!

Ehem...Ehem....
Here is the new entry....

In this entry I will tell you guys about my recent Introduction to Electronics System class.
On that day all of section 2 students have to go to the Electronics Workshop.
There is a lot of computers in that workshop but not all of the computers can working.

First thing that we do in the workshop is we are briefing by Dr. Kamal about the assessment on the reflective journal that we have to do every week.
There are some papers that have been distributed to us.....

First...
OVERALL ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

 On this paper, there are the criteria that students need to follow to get good result. 
In this subject, the thing that will be judge is the reflective journal, practical, presentation and also attitude.


THE SECOND THING THAT WE GOT...

Dr.Kamal mostly focus on the reflective journal that day. This is because many of the students do not really understand what actually needed to write in this journal.
Because of that Dr. Kamal give us the booklet explaining about the reflective journal.

Actually, there is a lot thing that Dr. Kamal has given to us but I think I should stop here and start
writing about the second session in this class which taken over by Mr. Redzuan...

In this session, we are learnt about construct a circuit in a computer.
The software that we use are  NI Multisim 10 and also Ultiboard.

FIRSTLY, I WILL TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT THE MULTISIM...
NI MULTISIM 10!

When you enter this software, you can see an empty space which specially design for the user to construct a circuit on it.

THE EMPTY SPACE FOR DESIGNING THE CIRCUIT

Let I explain a little about the Multisim. This software integrates two programs that is a circuit schematics editor and a circuit simulator. The schematics editor allows us to build a virtual circuit by connecting various electronics components. Basically the user draws the schematic of the circuit to be analyzed. 

Before we start constructing the circuit. We are given a simple schematic diagram that we have to design in the software.

THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM THAT GIVEN TO US.
 Mr Redzuan teach us how to use the software before we try it by ourselves.
He explained the whole thing about how to construct the circuit in the software.

MR REDZUAN AT THE FRONT EXPLAINING ABOUT THE SOFTWARE.
The first thing we have to know is the toolbar.

THE TOOLBAR
From the toolbar, we can choose the icon that we need.
Here, in the menu icon, we can choose the components selection menu.
In this menu, we will choose the components that we need. 
We also can get the components icon just by clicking the left button of the mouse.

THE COMPONENTS SELECTION MENU

In the Component Selection Menu, set “Database” to “Master database” and “Group” to “Sources.”
 We can choose the type of the components and the value of the components from here. After that, we can just connect the components by a wire.

THE CIRCUIT THAT HAVE DONE
 Alhamdulillah...
I already finish constructing my circuit...
And alhamdulillah again when I RUN it, it does work.
The LED did lighted.
FUHH....

But one more thing that I forget....
From the picture, we can see there are some symbol of the components have blue colour while the others is black.
Actually, the components with blue colour represent the real components while the black colour represents the virtual components. When the circuit in the Multisim software imported to the Ultiboard software, only the real one will be appear there whereas the virtual one cannot appear in the software. In this case, we need to change the components type in order to complete the circuit in the Ultiboard. Just double clicking on the components in the Multisim and choose the real one. And then the components will appear in the Ultiboard circuit.
But, be careful. Make sure that the value of the components are the correct one.

I think thats all....
We are not done yet with the Ultiboard...
Therefore, I will stop here and will comeback soon with more story on Ultiboard...
BYE2...
