Abstract: As an important experimental tool for the teaching of sensor courses, the application of the simulation software can help learners to deepen the understanding of the sensor‘s principle and characteristics, and simultaneously promote the development of the experimental process efficiently and economically.In this paper, we take the NI Multisim simulation software, Proteus simulation software and Labview simulation software as the examples, to illustrate the necessity that different design levels need to select different simulation software in the project design, and we also design an easy operation simulation experiment system for the sensor course teaching.
