Liquid Instruments Moku:Lab Reconfigurable Hardware Platforms

Liquid Instruments Moku:Lab Reconfigurable Hardware Platforms combines the digital signal processing power of an FPGA with versatile analog inputs and outputs for engineering and research applications. These devices feature five or twelve instruments (depending on the model). The analog front-end is designed for maximum versatility. Two 500MSa/s inputs can be configured for AC or DC coupling, 50Ω or 1MΩ impedance, and an input voltage range of 1Vpp or 10Vpp. Moku:Lab also features two 1GSa/s outputs with 300MHz anti-aliasing filters, allowing the generation of two high-precision waveforms while measuring on the inputs.

Moku:Lab features an ultra-stable internal oscillator with better than 500ppb accuracy and 10MHz input and output references for synchronization with external timebases. A dedicated DC to 5MHz external trigger input is designed for TTL (1.8V to 5V) voltages. Some instruments use Moku:Lab’s analog inputs as high-precision external triggers, giving more control over the system’s trigger settings. Liquid Instruments Moku:Lab Reconfigurable Hardware Platforms offers Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB connection for easy control in congested environments.
