Creating a thermistor with a variable temperature slider

Greetings,

I am looking for some help or direction to get me started with creating a thermistor with characteristics based off of a selected sensor I have chosen. I will be reviewing some tutorials on the component wizard, but from what I am understanding and from what I see from searches so far I have to use the equation for a thermistor, but how would I give the sensor the ability to change temperature, much like the transducers already available in multisim so that once I figure out how to create the component I can slide the temperature scale during simulation? I have very little understanding at this moment on how to accomplish this task, but the sensor I picked came with a ntc library, and I was able to calculate the various resistances for the temperatures.

X1 1 2 NTC Params: 
+ B0=-12.196347610336
+ B1=3314.77676511941
+ B2=346608.502189249
+ B3=-99367498.213384
+ B4=7337806094.5
+ R25=10000 
+ T={1+TOL/100} 
+ CTH=0.00119 GTH0=0.00039423 GTH1=5.385E-7 TK=273.15

Thank you very much, I am working on a team final and I am hoping to get this going ASAP

Hello Henry,

 

This link explains how to use the Component Wizard in NI Multisim. You will need a proper Simulation Model to reflect the thermistor's behavior as explained in this link.

 

Warm Regards,

 

Gustave
