Ultiboard . Ultiboard and Ultiboard...

Assalamualaikum and I think not too early to wish Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all the readers. After more than two weeks I haven't update this blog and  for this week I want to share with you all the readers what we have learnt in this week lecture. For my previous post, I have shared with you guys what is multisim and ultiboard. It is no so easy and also not so difficult to understand this two software. Ok for this week class, En Ridzuan gave us this workshop sheet that we have to do it  by ourself.

                                                                                             

Eventhough in the paper asked us to do it in three hours but En Redzuan decided to change it to two hours only. When opened this workshop sheet, this the circuit that we have to do 

This task is very challenging because first we have to draw the circuit in multisim first and then transfer it to ultiboard. For me who always used multisim version 11 found some difficult to use multisim version 10 but nevermind thats not the reason why i cant did this task successfully. After finished rearranged the circuit in multisim, we have to transfer the circuit to ultiboard for making the circuit in 3D version. Before start this task, En Ridzuan have decided to ask us to change the wire to 25 mil and also he did not want to see the board in rectangle shape. He want us to be more creative in designing the circuit.This situation made us more depressed because we have to placed the component in one large board without having red circle which means the wire was too close to the component or other else. After almost two hours designed the circuit in good situation, now I want to show to you all the readers my final circuit is....




                                                        the top of the board..


                                     
                                                   the bottom of the board..


I think thats all the things that i want to share with you all the readers. I promise that I will share with you all the readers what I  learn on the next class. Once again, SELAMAT HARI RAYA HAJI to you guys and Assalamualaikum..

Say Hello to my new friends " Multisim and Ultiboard" !

Assalamualaikum to all readers especially Prof Kamal. On Tuesday , our class which is section 2 SMJE have attended our first workshop which the class located above Dewan Kuliah 4. For the first 15 minutes, Prof Kamal briefed to us about the course schedule, the skill of writing the reflective journal and many more .After that, Mr Redzuan took the class and introduced to us about multisim and ultiboard. He also gave us book that contains information about multisim and ultiboard

First of all, let me explain more on multisim. Multisim  is an electronic schematic capture and simulation program which is part of a suite of circuit design programs, along with Ultiboard. Multisim is one of the few circuit design programs to employ the original Berkeley Spice based software simulation. Multisim was originally created by a company named Electronics Workbench, which is now a division of National Instruments. Multisim includes microcontroller simulationas well as integrated import and export features to the Printed Circuit Board layout software in the suite, Ultiboard. Below is the example of drawing the circuit using multisim.




After that, En Ridzuan asked us to use multisim to create a circuit. For us which is degree students, we found difficult to use this software but thank god we have our senpai which conducted us to use it. All of us can did the task given by En Ridzuan smoothly .

After that, En, Redzuan showed to us how to us ultiboard but first as usual, let me explain more on ultiboard. Ultiboard or formerly Ultiboard is an electronic Printed Circuit Board Layout program which is part of a suite of circuit design programs, along with NI Multisim. One of its major features is the Real Time Design Rule Check, a feature that was only offered on expensive work stations in the days when it was introduced. ULTIboard was originally created by a company named Ultimate Technology, which is now a subsidiary of National Instruments. Ultiboard includes a 3D PCB viewing mode, as well as integrated import and export features to the Schematic Capture and Simulation software in the suite, Multisim.

Example of the ultiboard is 




Lastly, let me leave this video so you all can see how to master in using multisim and ultiboard.






Thats all that we have learn on tuesday workshop. For next week, En Redzuan will teach us more interesting topics . let's wait and see. To end my sentences, wish me good luck in this course and be a good engineer. InsyaAllah. Assalamualaikum.
