The Engineering Electronics Shop supports the use of circuit board software LabVIEW, Multisim, and Ultiboard by National Instruments.
LabVIEW is system design software from National Instruments.
Multisim is circuit design software from National Instruments. Multisim has a large parts library, which has been set up to use available ESS parts. See EES Custom Parts Database and Arduino Templates (MultiSim Version 14).
The videos below explain many uses of Multisim.
