  Pulsed readout of Direct Current (DC) SUperconducting Quantum Interference
Device (SQUID) is crucial for experiments which need to be performed at
millikelvin temperatures, such as the readout of superconducting and electron
spin based qubits. Pulsed readout algorithms used in these experiments are
usually specific to the experimental setup and require some optimization. We
present a circuit that emulates the behavior of a DC-SQUID in order to allow
the development and evaluation of pulsed readout algorithms at room temperature
without the need of a running dilution refrigerator. This novel circuit also
constitutes a low cost device which can be used to teach the principles of a
DC-SQUID in courses aimed at training the next generation of quantum engineers.
