GenInst Studio is enabling. Without GenInst Studio, I would not have been able to build my custom instrument. It would have required me to hire an FPGA expert, purchase an FPGA dev board, and spend months on development.
GenInst Studio greatly accelerated the development of my FPGA-based control instruments. I was able to replace existing implementations with a fraction of the effort and time while adding new capabilities.
GenInst enabled us to build a specialized instrument that isn’t commercially available in just a few iterations. Developing it from scratch would normally require around two months of full-time development.
Get working instruments tailored for your exact project in minutes, not months
Define requirements through a guided specification process that captures your design intent, architecture, and validation plan from the start.
GenInst Studio creates your instrument, validates it against automatically generated tests, and iterates until it passes.
Deploy your instrument on Moku devices alongside the existing instrument suite to build complex signal processing pipelines.
Key features
From idea to instrument in minutes
Describe the instrument you need. GenInst Studio specifies, tests, and builds it. What would normally require months of FPGA development becomes deployable to hardware in minutes.

No FPGA expertise required
Create application-specific instruments without HDL or FPGA toolchains. GenInst Studio manages the implementation so you can focus on the project.
Purpose-built for instrument design
Instrument design is more than writing code. GenInst Studio guides the full process, from defining requirements to verifying the design, so the final output is ready to run on Moku hardware.
Validated before deployment
Each instrument is tested, refined, and revalidated before deployment. Once running on Moku hardware, AI is out of the loop for deterministic performance.
Design instruments around your experiment, not the other way around.
Create custom feedback, detection, and signal processing instruments for experiments that don’t fit standard test equipment. GenInst Studio helps translate experimental requirements into validated instrumentation that runs.
Create instruments for:
- Laser stabilization and lock control
- Custom demodulation schemes
- Kalman filters and custom PID variants
- Timing and synchronization logic

Tailor your measurement to the device under test. GenInst Studio helps create DUT control, trigger, and synchronization instruments for Moku hardware without starting from scratch in FPGA tools.
Example applications:
- ADC and DAC characterization
- SPI/I²C device control
- Timing and latency measurements
- Multi-channel trigger logic

Create feedback and automation instruments tailored to your system dynamics. GenInst Studio helps build low-latency control, sequencing, and decision logic that can run directly on FPGA hardware.
Use cases include:
- Custom PID controllers
- Multi-input feedback loops
- DUT controllers
- Low-latency control paths

Explore new measurement ideas without the usual development overhead. GenInst Studio helps researchers prototype, validate, and refine custom measurement and signal processing tools directly on Moku hardware.
Ideal for:
- Prototype DSP pipelines
- New instrument concepts
- Rapid experiment iteration
- Reproducible research setups

Compatible with any Moku Device
GenInst Studio works across the entire Moku hardware family.
