Response time: Within 2 business days
Best for:

Understanding product features and capabilities
Clarifying documentation or user guides
Account and subscription management
Installation and basic setup assistance

Examples of general support questions:

“How do I configure a VCD reader to filter specific signals?”
“What serializer should I use for importing CSV log files?”
“Where can I find documentation on creating custom formatters?”
“How do I set up hierarchical signal organization in the Pattern Log Reader?”
“What’s the syntax for include/exclude patterns in the FST reader?”
“Can you explain the difference between ‘Delay’ and ‘Dilate’ properties?”

Not covered by general product support:

Analyzing your specific log files or waveforms
Debugging issues with your custom data formats
Workflow design for your particular use case
Performance optimization for your datasets

Integration Support

Available to: Base, Pro, and Ultimate plan subscribers (optional, additional fee²)
Channel: Direct email and video calls
Response time: Customized based on service agreement

Designing custom workflows for your organization
Troubleshooting complex integration scenarios
Performance tuning for large-scale deployments
Custom serializer and processor development assistance
Training and onboarding for teams

Examples of integration support:

“We need to import proprietary log files from our RTOS—can you help us create a custom pattern reader?”
“Our simulation outputs are too large to load efficiently—how can we optimize the import?”
“We want to integrate impulse with our CI/CD pipeline for automated waveform comparison”
“Can you help us design a workflow to correlate three different log sources?”

Integration support involves direct collaboration with the impulse development team and is tailored to your specific technical environment and goals. Because this requires significant engineering resources, it’s available as an optional service with separate pricing.
