Impulse measurement software coded by artificial intelligence

Impulse voltage measurement is an important feature of modern high voltage technology. In large scale laboratories, special hardware and software measurement solutions are used for this purpose, whose development requires considerable resources. An alternative approach is presented with a USB oscilloscope and a low-cost mini-PC as hardware platform. The C and Python program FiLiPulse for a standard lightning impulse voltage measuring system is generated by artificial intelligence under the guidance of the measurement system operator. The operator has no relevant knowledge of programming. Parameter calculation of FiLiPulse is validated with impulse waveforms from an IEC standard. The program stores measured raw data and calculated fitted and filtered data for each shot in a single file and writes one common report of the calculated parameters of all the full standard lightning impulses within one directory.
