Pulse front-ends are now more flexible - version 6.0 offers a new, modular front-end with up to 31 channels in five input modules.
It also supports multiple front-ends of the same or different types.
Portable Pulse is based on a battery-powered front-end connected to a suitable laptop or desktop PC.
Its compactness and robustness make it ideal for use in the field, laboratory or even in-car where you can measure, analyse, verify and report results on the spot.
The PC connects to the front-end via a LAN connection.
Real-time multi-analysis reduces measurement time and improves data quality The real-time capability of Pulse means that users see analysis results instantaneously on-screen as they are measured, enabling validation of data and assessment of potential problems immediately.
Combine this with automated reporting, and it becomes clear just how fast Pulse delivers results.
Multi-analysis means users can run any combination of real-time analysers in parallel on the same or different channels while displaying real-time results on screen and saving time-data to disk.
This unique feature dramatically reduces measurement time, while improving measurement quality.
Analysers available include FFT, 1/n-octave (CPB) order and overall analyses.
Version 6.0 has added some new software features to the growing range of applications.
The Acoustic Test Consultant is a new Pulse application that has been developed to simplify complex acoustic measurement tasks.

The Pulse user interface provides a logical and familiar Windows-based environment that can be configured precisely for a user's specific needs.
Reporting is quick and easy as all charts, layouts and measurement setups can be displayed on screen and reported with just a few mouse clicks.
Pulse allows display of multiple plots on-screen simultaneously, creation of dynamic links to Word reports or Excel spreadsheets and data export with drag and drop simplicity.
