{{quote|Pulse wave analysers are used to detect anomalous readings within solid objects, more specifically within asteroid fields.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Pulse Wave Analyser''' is a utility [[module]] used in [[Miner|mining]]. Activating it while within a [[Planetary Ring Systems|planetary ring]] or [[asteroids|asteroid]] cluster emits a fast-moving pulse of energy that will briefly highlight any asteroids with lucrative deposits within range.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/content-recap-beyond-chapter-four-livestream-mining-and-squadrons.454587/ Frontier Forums: Content Recap: Beyond - Chapter Four Livestream - Mining and Squadrons]</ref>

== Usage ==
The intensity of the pulse's highlighting reflects an asteroid's deposit density and whether or not it is a [[Seismic Charge Launcher|crackable]] "motherlode" asteroid with a core deposit. Dull, translucent coloration indicates only surface deposits are present, while bright, opaque coloration indicates the presence of a core deposit. The colors red, orange, and yellow indicate the areas on an asteroid where deposits are located, and do not necessarily correspond to deposit density.

==Specifications==
{{Quote|Scans the local environment for subtle variations in the structure and composition of solid objects. When triggered, an EM wave will pulse out from the ship and pass over any objects within range. It is calibrated to highlight anomalies detected within asteroids, interpreting this data as a glow and varying its size based on basic composition and density data, as well as distance from the ship. This information is analysed internally then relayed directly to the cockpit HUD, visualising it as a 360 degree wave. Once a potential deposit asteroid is found, a Prospector Limpet should be used to gain more detail information on its composition. Can only be used in normal space and only functions in analysis mode.|Additional In-Game Description}}
