PULSELAB : PULSE MEASUREMENT SOFTWARE

PULSELab is a high-performance pulse measurement software application developed by Montena to ease the measurement of electric and electromagnetic pulses during EMC immunity tests. It centralizes all the competencies required to monitor and analyse fast pulses using all kinds of sensors and probes.

PULSELab controls one or more oscilloscopes, uploads the measured traces, processes them using the transfer function of each element in the measurement chain, and automatically generates measurement reports.

PULSELab is compatible with a wide range of sensors and allows accurate measurement of:

• Current pulse from current probes, Rogowski coils, and current transformers
• Voltage pulse from voltage probes
• Fast high-voltage pulse from V-Dot sensors
• Fast high-intensity electromagnetic pulse from B-Dot and D-Dot derivative field sensors

PULSELab automatically compensates the transfer function of each component in the measurement chain — sensors, attenuators, preamplifiers, cables, or fiber-optic links. This compensation can be performed using fixed values or frequency-dependent transfer responses, significantly enhancing accuracy and ensuring results reflect the true physical behaviour of fast pulses.

PULSELab combines all the functionality needed for pulse measurements in a single tool. You can control one or multiple digital oscilloscopes — some customers manage more than 16 real-time channels in parallel. Each channel can be connected to different sensors, with PULSELab automatically configuring the dynamic range and compensating the full measurement chain.

Configurations can be saved and recalled at any time, reducing operator error and making repetitive tests significantly faster.

Yes, PULSELab allows you to save and recall an unlimited number of measurement configurations. This ensures consistency and saves setup time — ideal for laboratories or test engineers performing repetitive measurements, as well as for calibration workflows.

Yes, PULSELab includes automatic report generation to help document results quickly and reliably. Reports contain key measurement parameters, compensated data, and setup configurations for full traceability. Measurement results can also be exported in .xls and .csv formats.

PULSELab is designed for engineers and laboratories involved in high-voltage pulse measurements, electromagnetic pulse (Lightning, NEMP, HESD) testing, fast transient current or field analysis, and EMC and R&D environments requiring precise automated data acquisition and compensation.

PULSELab connects to standard oscilloscopes and compatible sensors, integrating into existing setups without hardware changes. Test reports are in HTML format; measurements can be exported in .xls and .csv. PULSELab is a LabVIEW-based application deployable on Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X.

PULSELab brings together all essential competencies in one tool: automatic oscilloscope management, transfer function compensation, setup saving and recall, automatic report generation, and support for multiple sensor types. It ensures precision and consistency while significantly reducing the risk of operator errors.
