4.3. Modifying Component Parameters in Multisim 7

When using the Multisim 7 software to create a circuit schematic, not all of the required
components will be contained in the software database. For example, when a search was
done for TIP31A and TIP32A, no result was found. As such, the required components will
have to be created. One of two things can be done.
a) Create a totally new component from scratch:
In this case the Component Wizard will have to be used. Instructions on how to
create a new component from scratch is provided in the document Creating a
component in MultiSim.pdf which can be found on the myeLearning website.
b) Identify a similar component in the database and modify it to meet the required
specifications.
This section demonstrates how an existing component in the database can be modified.
The 2SC2786 transistor will be modified to create the TIP31A since their parameters are
similar.

4.4. Wiring the Circuit

All of the components in the circuit schematic of Figure 2 have been placed in the worksheet.
The components must now be wired together. This is done by simply joining the component
leads.
It must be noted that the components were placed in predetermined positions on the worksheet.
This will minimize the complexity of the wiring process. It is strongly recommended that the
layout for the circuit schematic, to be created in Multisim, is sketched on paper beforehand. This
will allow the user to determine the layout of the components in the worksheet when creating the
schematic in Multisim.
30
4.4.1.
Begin by joining the I/O connector J1 and the variable resistor R1. Click on the top lead
coming out from J1 then click on the top lead projecting from R1. A connection should
be automatically created as shown in Figure 41.
Figure 41 - Connecting Components Together
The automatically generated connection can be edited by clicking on the connection and
dragging it to the desired point as shown in Figure 42.
