When simulating the response of a particle detector to an energy deposition, the pulse shape and the electronic noise are important features to be taken into account. In this work, we present a method to simulate a continuous stream of detector-like data, produced to mock the salient characteristics of the chosen setup. This technique allows the full reproduction of an experimental measurement, as well as providing a predictive tool to validate or train new analysis procedures. We present the algorithm used to produce these data, and we test its capabilities by reproducing the data output of an high-purity germanium detector.
