So in my assignment i have to work out the the slew rate for the component opamp_3T_virtual in multisim, i have no given resister values or circuit and no idea where to start.

Hi,

If you already have the model maybe you can drive it with a square wave and look at the output response. If you look at the places where it ramps up and/or down vs time, you can calculate the slew rate. For example if it ramps up by 2 volts in 1 microsecond, then the slew rate is 2v/us.

I know slew rate is the voltage over time, and I know how to calculate the maximum slew rate needed, but I don't know how to test a slew rate. Or am I just looking at this wrong?
I have tried testing it with a square wave but I shall try again. Thank you.

Your amplifier is not correct.

Design a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 2.

Set your signal generator to 10 kHz @ 1 V peak to peak.

Trigger your oscilloscope.

Post your screen shot ... and you can crop out the superfluous information in paint.

So I went in and asked and was told the curve i am getting is fine for a virtual op amp, most real op amps will have this but not for a wide range of frequency's where as a virtual one curves the signal a lot more. Thank you all for your help.
