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.
