How to Measure Voltage in Multisim Live

  • Multisim Live

I would like to measure voltage in Multisim Live. I normally use a multimeter but cannot find it.

To measure voltage in Multisim we use probes.

1. Locate the voltage probe icon at the left hand side of the screen


2. Place this on a wire in your circuit. 



3. Locate a reference probe on the left hand side of the screen



4. Place this on the wire that you would like to measure with reference to. Here we are measuring the voltage across R1.



5. Select the voltage probe

6. Change the voltage reference to REF1. 



7. Run the simulation



8. The voltage across the resistor should now show.





For AC measurements such average, peak and RMS go to the Configuration pane a switch to the Item tab, then select the probe and mark the checkbox "Periodic" on Interactive simulation section. 

This will show up a pane next to your probe with the measurements.
