The latest release of PULSE includes new software and applications for a range of industries, and enhancements in PULSE Reflex and LabShop. In this release, we have focused on performance, because speed and stability is key when measuring and analyzing data.

Structural dynamics

PULSE Reflex Stepped Sine Measurements

PULSE Reflex Stepped Sine Measurements is the latest addition to our structural portfolio. The application enables manual and automatic control of multiple shakers using stepped sine excitation. PULSE Reflex Stepped Sine Measurements can be used for non-linearity studies and for very accurate estimation of Frequency Response Functions.

Acoustic application software

PULSE Reflex Telephone Test

PULSE Reflex Telephone Test sees a range of improvements with PULSE 21. Most importantly PULSE now supports: 

• hands-free testing capabilities according to the 3GPP TS.26.132 standard
  
  
• hands-free testing capabilities according to the the Chinese standard YDT-1538
  
  
• ITU-T P.1140 (eCall)

Refined Beamforming

Refined Beamforming software option is enhanced to include the CLEAN SC algorithm. This is a very effective tool to remove dominant sources from source plots, providing better spatial resolution for sources with a spatial extent. Read about the solutions and enhancements:

• Beamforming
  
  
• Refined Beamforming calculation

PULSE Reflex Acoustic Camera

The troubleshooting capabilities of PULSE Reflex Acoustic Camera have been greatly improved with the addition of spectrogram, which enables short noise events to be seen clearly, synthesis of 1/1-, 1/3-, 1/12-octave and recording of reference signals, amongst other things.
