Hi Mithula,

Your question is very interesting. The answer is yes, it's possible. Here is the idea:

Multisim has an Application Programming Interface (API) that you can access via any COM-aware programming languaje (for example: LabVIEW). This API lets you control a Multisim simulation without opening Multisim. Therefore, you can create a VI in LabVIEW that can open the Multisim simulation engine, open/close a circuit, start/stop simulations, get/set values of certain components, etc. Then, you can use the Web Publishing tool in LabVIEW to create the remote panel.

To access the Multisim API from LabVIEW you need to use ActiveX functions, however, to make things easier we created a toolkit that wraps the Multisim API into nice functions. This toolkit is still on Beta and you can download it from NI Labs.

Here is a tutorial with more details about this toolkit:

An Introduction to Multisim Automation with the LabVIEW Multisim Connectivity Toolkit (beta)

You can download the toolkit here.

I hope this helps.
