Is it possible to automatically add switches and leds to the chips to quickly understand how they work?

[MrAn3]

Frequently I just need to  understand how a specific chip works, for instance, 74 163, 74 244, well and a lot others, sometimes I add, switches and leds, manually, but this is a long and repetitive action, so I guess if there's a quick way to do it. By the way, I'm a complete newbie in multisim.

En español:

Quisiera saber si hay alguna forma rápida de realizar un montaje xra probar circuitos, es decir, q se coloquen switchs en las entradas y leds en las salidas, lo usaría cuando necesite entender como funciona un chip en particular, p.ej. 74 163, 74 244, y muchos otros, hacerlo manualmente es un poco largo y repetitivo.

I'm not sure of a way to make this totally automatically. There are no provisions in Multisim for a totally automatic method of doing what you need, but there are a couple of option that might make it easier.

1. Create one schematic that has you switches and leds alreay wired up. Save it. Impiort it and then replace the IC. This may still require 

     some manual wiring.

2. Using the same techique as above, but this time making your switches and LEDs into a hierarchy block that can be imported into the

     print.. This method would require the least amount of manual wiring.

I understand you are new to Multisim and my not understand how to use option number 2 real well at the moment. What I would suggest is to thouroughly read the Multisim Users manual to become familiar with hierarchy blocks and subcircuits. They can make thinks easier, especially if you have common circuits across different schematics. Also, there are  tutorials at NI and also a few on the website included in my signature.

I hope this may have helped some as this is about as close to automatic as anything gets in Multisim.
