Experience a new way to test

Whether you’re verifying an early design prototype or making advanced optical measurements, Moku:Lab contains the instruments you need, available in an instant.

Moku:Lab is a reconfigurable hardware platform that combines the digital signal processing power of an FPGA with versatile, low-noise analog inputs and outputs. Simplify your workflow with access to a full suite of high-performance instruments that enable you to make end-to-end product measurements with a single device.

Multiple instruments in a single platform

Consolidate old racks and stacks into one piece of powerful equipment that provides the instruments you need to optimise design and test. As the software evolves, you get instant access to valuable new features sent directly to your Moku device — with no new hardware required.

Specialised software for demanding applications

It’s easy to make Allan deviation measurements with the Moku:Lab Phasemeter. Quantify the stability of clocks and other oscillators with built-in functionality on high-performance instrumentation.

Customise your equipment to your experiment

With Multi-instrument Mode and Moku Cloud Compile, you’re not limited to a single instrument. Daisy-chain two instruments together to build sophisticated signal processing pipelines and hot-swap instruments without interrupting those running in tandem. Develop and deploy your own bitstreams to maximise flexibility on a single device.
