Fourth-generation free-electron lasers like FLASH operating in XUV (extreme ultraviolet) and soft X-ray spectral region between 4,2 - 45 nm, are machines allowing access to novel research-areas. Time-resolved experiments on femtosecond time scale in this wavelength region enable an insight into ultrafast processes on nanoscale. To monitor the FEL pulse duration and arrival jitter on a single-shot basis, a versatile diagnostic tool is needed. Such a tool, namely the *XUV-PUMA* (XUV Pulsdauermeßapparatur) is under development. It will provide single-shot basis information with the intention to be operated simultaneously to the user experiments at FLASH. The working principle is based on a plasma gate, where an optical laser pulse is used to probe the transmission change in a transparent material which is pumped by the FEL pulse. The required ultrashort probe laser pulses will be delivered by a sub-30fs, tunable NOPA laser system which is currently under development. This work is sponsored by BMBF - 05K16ME1
