Liquid Instruments Moku:Pro Integrated Hardware Platforms
Liquid Instruments Moku:Pro Integrated Hardware Platforms combine high-performance hardware with the versatility of software-defined instrumentation to deliver an all-inclusive test and measurement solution. A high-performance Xilinx Ultrascale+ FPGA is coupled with a high-bandwidth analog front-end and robust networking and storage. Moku:Pro’s suite of software-defined instruments support high-speed data acquisition, processing/visualization, waveform generation, and real-time control applications. An innovative hybrid front-end design performs frequency-dependent signal blending from multiple ADCs, delivering exceptional noise performance from acoustic to radio frequencies.
Moku:Pro’s multi-instrument mode allows the use of multiple instruments simultaneously and lets users connect these instruments to build a customized test system. Instruments running in this mode can be chained together to build sophisticated signal-processing pipelines. Advanced users can even drop in custom features designed in Moku Cloud Compile. Connections to the analog inputs, analog outputs, and adjacent instruments are run-time configurable for instant gratification.
