We present the timing and spectral analysis of a recent observation of the superluminal galactic source GRS 1915+105 performed in April 1999 with the Narrow Field Instruments on board BeppoSAX. On that occasion the source light curve was characterised by a long series of quasi regular pulses with a mean recurrence time of about 50 s. Spectral analysis was performed in each of the five consecutive time intervals in which we segmented the folded light curves. A model including a multitemperature blackbody disk and a power law was adopted to estimate the parameters of the emission model, in particular the innermost disk radius and temperature. A time history of these quantities during the pulse was then obtained. We compare it with the results of other observations.
