Speedgoat's scalable Pulse real-time target machine enables control and test engineers to perform desktop and lab control design prototyping and component-level hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. Engineers can also seamlessly switch between desktop simulation and real-time testing from Simulink®, making quick development iterations possible.
BERN, Switzerland, May 15, 2025 -- Speedgoat, a leading provider of real-time test systems for control designs and embedded controllers, launched the latest addition to its portfolio of real-time target machines. The Pulse test system is designed for control design innovation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing in automotive, aerospace, and other industries that demand versatility. The solution supports engineers working with an agile process, accelerating development iterations.
"Innovation depends on being able to experiment and adapt quickly to changing conditions. With the new Pulse real-time target machine, we empower engineers to prototype, test and bring their projects to life faster and with ease," says Speedgoat CEO Martin Stoller.
The new test system is best suited for control design innovation and entry- and component-level hardware-in-the-loop testing in a desktop or lab environment. For control design applications, it acts as a prototype controller on which users can run their control designs for development and testing. In HIL applications, it runs the digital twin of the component or sub-system with which the controller under test interacts. Users can switch seamlessly between desktop simulation and real-time testing.
"For control design innovation and entry- and component-level HIL testing, the Pulse real-time target machine offers control and test engineers in automotive, aerospace, and other industries a compact and scalable platform. They can trust it to empower rapid innovation and deliver reliable test results," says Martin Stoller.
For evolving and changing I/O requirements, users can easily expand the Pulse real-time target machine on their own with up to eight I/O modules. The new test system supports a wide range of I/O connectivity and protocols.
Like all other test systems from Speedgoat, it offers seamless integration with MATLAB® and Simulink® Real-Time™ from MathWorks® for model-based design workflows.
The Pulse real-time target machine comes with a multiprocessor system-on-chip (SoC) which includes both a CPU and an FPGA. With the FPGA, engineers can run real-time applications at closed-loop sample rates in the MHz range.
The Pulse real-time target machine is delivered fully assembled, configured, and ready for use. It also comes with an extensive set of quality services. Jump-start workshops and trainings are available.
