Abstract: Highlights•The generator can generate any desired pulse waveforms corresponding to different physiological and pathological states.•The Windkessel model is implemented with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for efficiency, portability and scalability.•The critical parameters are flexible to be modulated according to the requirement of the users.•It is possible to add different types of noises with varying signal-to-noise ratios.
