Labs: Installing Multisim & MyDAQ

We will be using Multisim to simulate circuits and the MyDAQ (hardware) to measure them. 

Install both of these on your home computer, using the DVD that came with your textbook/MyDAQ package.

How? If you have the DVD from the back of your book and a DVD reader, just put in the Multisim DVD and follow the installation instructions.
