Overview
NI ELVIS is the leading platform for teaching concepts in areas such as
instrumentation, circuits, control, communication, and embedded design
in a hands-on fashion. With its integrated suite of the 12 most commonly
used instruments in a compact, rugged, laboratory-friendly package, and
now with a USB interface, NI ELVIS delivers a complete design and
prototyping platform. Professors can use it for freshman to senior-level
classes to help students learn concepts in a hands-on manner.
Powered by LabVIEW
The new NI ELVIS is now completely customizable with the premier
measurement and control software, National Instruments LabVIEW.
It includes Express VIs that provide point-and-click configuration
capabilities for the individual instruments, which makes building
customizable instruments very easy. You also can use the new

Multidisciplinar
NI ELVIS provides a multidisciplinary teaching platform for
hands-on learning in areas such as measurements, circuits, control,
communication, and microprocessor and embedded design. Several
industry and education leaders in these areas now support NI ELVIS.

Single, Simplified Toolchain for
Circuits Education
With the introduction of Electronics Workbench Multisim 9 and a new
driver for NI ELVIS that integrate seamlessly with NI LabVIEW, professors
and students now have access to a single, simplified toolchain to teach
circuits education – from theory to design, prototyping, and deployment.
Professors and students can use Multisim to design and simulate circuits
they learn in theory and prototype and deploy them on NI ELVIS. They can
also use LabVIEW and NI SignalExpress to test and verify that the actual
circuit tracks the theor
