Impulse

Collaboration

For teams

Impulse is specifically designed with research groups and user facilities in mind.

For research groups

Are you leading a research group with long-term projects involving multiple researchers? Impulse makes it easy to design, save and share experiment workflows so that the study can seamlessly continue and evolve across your team.

For multi-user facilities

If you are responsible for a multi-user TEM facility, Impulse has an intuitive user interface that allows control over multiple DENSsolutions in situ systems. Researchers can start performing a wide variety of experiments using stimuli like heating, biasing and gas in no time.

Flexible dashboard

Arrange and resize graphs for instant access to the right information during your experiment. Display unlimited data on the experiment dashboard for a complete status overview, allowing you to quickly find correlations and make real-time decisions.

Smart automation

Easily design your experiment with the drag-and-drop profile builder. Smart automation keeps track of measurements and ensures that programmed sample conditions are met, enabling you to accurately reproduce experiments across multiple iterations.

Experimental freedom

Conduct unique experiments with the added optionality of creating your own Python scripts. Communicate with different equipment like your microscope, cameras, detectors and in situ systems. Use premade scripts or access thousands of Python modules online.

Data integration

Synchronize your stimuli data with other data from your experiment and provide your camera and detector images with stimuli annotations in seconds. Currently compatible with TVIPS and Gatan software.

Impulse is very intuitive and user friendly. The interface is simple yet most effective – allowing simultaneous control of temperature and bias at the flick of a switch, including set up, acquisition and recording. This is the type of tool that helps you to carry out the experiment that you WANT to do, rather than the experiment you are ABLE to do. Way to go, DENSsolutions.

Impulse allows me to streamline my workflow. With it, I spend less time setting up my experiments and more time actually doing them, whether it is heating, biasing or both. The customization options mean I can easily control the inputs exactly as I want, whilst also letting me choose what data is fed back to me.

Which DENSsolutions systems are compatible with Impulse?

Impulse is compatible with all DENSsolutions in situ systems including Wildfire, Lightning, Climate, and Stream. It provides a unified interface for controlling heating, biasing, gas and liquid stimuli.

Can I automate my experiments with Impulse?

Yes. Impulse features a drag-and-drop profile builder that lets you design your experiment workflow in advance. Smart automation then ensures that programmed sample conditions are met during the experiment, allowing you to accurately reproduce results.

Does Impulse support Python scripting?

Yes. Impulse includes a Python API that enables you to create custom scripts, communicate with your microscope, cameras, detectors and in situ systems. You can use premade scripts or access thousands of Python modules online.

Which camera and detector software is Impulse compatible with?

Impulse currently supports data integration with TVIPS and Gatan software, allowing you to synchronize stimuli data with camera and detector data and annotate images in seconds.

Can multiple researchers share experiment workflows?

Yes. Impulse is specifically designed with research groups in mind. You can design, save and share experiment workflows so that studies can seamlessly continue and evolve across your team.
