Installing NI Circuit Design Suite 11.0.1
This section describes the system requirements and installation procedures
for NI Circuit Design Suite.
Minimum System Requirements
To run NI Circuit Design Suite 11.0.1, National Instruments recommends
that your system meet or exceed the following requirements:
Windows Vista/XP 32-bit editions.
Windows Vista 64-bit edition.
Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
Note
Circuit Design Suite 11.0 does not support Windows NT/Me/98/95/2000, or
Windows XP x64.
Pentium 4 class microprocessor or equivalent (Pentium III class
minimum).
512 MB of memory (256 MB minimum).
1.5 GB of free hard disk space (1 GB minimum).
n
®
capable 3D graphics card recommended (SVGA resolution
video adapter with 800 × 600 video resolution minimum, 1024 × 768
or higher preferred).
To develop custom LabVIEW based instruments for use in Multisim,
LabVIEW 8.6.x or 2009 is required.

Installation Instructions
The NI Circuit Design Suite 11.0.1 installer installs both products in the
suite: NI Multisim and NI Ultiboard.
If you have not installed version 11.0, the installer installs that version first,
followed by version 11.0.1. If you have already installed version 11.0, the
installer installs version 11.0.1, which automatically updates version 11.0
in the same directory in which it was originally installed.
National Instruments recommends that you close all open applications
before you install NI Circuit Design Suite.
By default, the NI Circuit Design Suite installation program copies files to
<Program Files>\National Instruments\Circuit Design
Suite 11.0
after you complete the following steps:
1.
Insert the NI Circuit Design Suite CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the
CD startup screen does not appear, select
Run
from the Windows
Start
menu and run
setup.exe
from your CD drive.
2.
Follow the instructions in the dialog boxes.
Product Activation
When you run a product in NI Circuit Design Suite for the first time, it will
prompt you to activate the product.
If you do not have a valid license, the product will run in Evaluation Mode
and continue to prompt you to activate on each subsequent run. Evaluation
Mode is valid for 30 days following the first run of the product.
For information about how to activate your software product, please refer
to the
Activation Instructions for National Instruments Software Note to
Users
included with your NI Circuit Design Suite package.
What’s New in NI Circuit Design Suite 11.0.1

Model encryption.
PCB Matrix nominal land patterns added to Ultiboard.
All layers show in the General layers tab in Ultiboard.
Reorganization of the
Ultiboard Help
.
Bug fixes.
Connector Improvements
The following improvements have been made to connectors in Multisim:
The properties dialog boxes for all connectors now have a Display tab,
where you can set whether or not to display the connector’s name, or
use the schematic global setting. The global settings for all connector
types are found in the Circuit tab of Sheet Properties dialog box, in the
Connectors box. The connector viewing options have also been added
to the Visibility tab of the Design Toolbox.
The On-page Connection dialog box has been renamed to On-Page
Connector.
The Global Connection dialog box has been renamed to Global
Connector.
When adding a global or on-page connector to a design, you must now
enter a new name, or choose an existing name for a list of available
target connectors.
For complete information on properties dialogs for the various connector
types, refer to the
Multisim Help
.
Continued Improvements to Forward and Backward Annotation
This release continues on the improvements made to forward and backward
annotation in Circuit Design Suite 11.0.
Improvements include:
An optional time stamp added to annotation files
(
@yyyy-mm-dd-time
appended to file name before extension, as in
Getting Started Final@2010-05-19-0928.ewnet
.)
The Forward Annotation and Backward Annotation dialogs have
two new buttons that become active if one or more conflicts are present
in the dialog. These are
Go to next conflict
and
Go to previous
conflict
.
n
Additional Information
box has been added to the Forward
Annotation and Backward Annotation dialogs. Select a difference to
see a more detailed description in this box. This box also provides
information on how to resolve a selected conflict.

Simulating Indicator Added to Design Toolbox
Previously, when multiple designs were open in Multisim, it was
sometimes difficult to identify which design was simulating. This was
inconvenient, as simulation of one design must be stopped before starting
simulation of another.
To overcome this, a
simulating
indicator now appears in the Hierarchy tab
of the Design Toolbox, beside the design that is being simulated.
Ability to Place a Component Directly from the Component Wizard
Previously, when you created a component with Multisim’s component
wizard, it was necessary to navigate to the new component using the Select
a Component dialog box to place the new component on the workspace.
The
Place this component
checkbox has been added to the final window
of the component wizard so that a newly created component can be added
directly to the workspace.
Improved Multisim File Load/Save Performance
The speed at which Multisim loads and saves files has been improved for
this release.
Updated Component Database
NI Circuit Design Suite 11.0.1 includes new additions and improvements
to the database. These include 33 new models and 38 new components
from Analog Devices.
Model Encryption
This edition of Multisim may include models that have been encrypted at the
request of their manufacturers. When seen in the netlist viewer,
Encrypted
Model
will show where the model syntax would normally appear.
PCB Matrix Nominal Land Patterns Added to Ultiboard
Approximately 1,500 land patterns from the PCB Matrix SMN7351B
library have been added to the Ultiboard database.
All Layers Show in General Layers Tab in Ultiboard
The General layers tab in the PCB Properties dialog box has been modified
to display all layers available in Ultiboard.
Also, a new Information layer called the Courtyard has been added. The
Courtyard is the boundary, or space, around an IPC-compliant part. The
Courtyard includes the minimum electrical and mechanical clearance of the
component and land pattern boundaries.
