Multi-Instrument Mode
Run up to eight instruments simultaneously on a single device. Build flexible, custom test sequences and powerful signal processing pipelines with the ability to swap instruments on the fly.
Multi-Instrument Mode examples
Multi-frequency lock‐in amplifier
Perform multi-frequency demodulation with up to eight Moku Lock‐in Amplifiers. Each Lock‐in Amplifier can demodulate the signal at the fundamental, higher harmonics, or frequency divisions using an internal or external reference signal.
Closed-loop controller
Configure your Moku device as a closed-loop controller for high-speed applications, thanks to sub-μs input and output delays. Make adjustments and see them reflected in real time.
Generate and control complex modulated waveforms
Modulate signals with arbitrary waveforms and seamlessly vary the modulations in real time. View, measure, and control your output waveforms simultaneously.
Stimulus and response in one
Control qubits or perform time-correlated single-photon correlation measurements, using the Moku Waveform Generator in conjunction with the Time & Frequency Analyzer to detect individual photon events.
Pulse-width demodulation decoding
Generate signals that follow a reference with a fixed temporal offset using the Moku Time & Frequency Analyzer for pulse-width modulation decoding.

Custom signal processing
Advanced capabilities, simple operation
With partial FPGA reconfiguration, Multi-Instrument Mode helps you build custom test configurations with low-latency, lossless interconnects to reduce complex cabling and impairments.
Daisy-chain instruments together to build sophisticated digital signal processing pipelines and hot-swap instruments in and out without interrupting those running in tandem.
Accelerate timelines with ultra-fast setup times
Get a sophisticated test system up and running in minutes with our intuitive user interface. All of the instruments are preconfigured to run together on the FPGA, so no complex wiring or coding is required.
Combine with Custom Instrument for ultimate customization
The ability to deploy custom code alongside Moku software-defined instruments provides you with not just the full suite of Moku instrumentation, but infinite instruments.
FAQ
Multi-Instrument Mode allows you to run up to eight software-defined test instruments simultaneously, with full access to the platform’s analog front end, internal inputs, and back panel triggering. Select the instruments you want to incorporate in your setup directly from the Multi-Instrument Mode interface in MokuOS.
You can deploy up to eight software-defined instruments simultaneously in Multi-Instrument Mode for Moku:Delta, and four for Moku:Pro. For Moku:Lab and Moku:Go, you can deploy three instruments in tandem.
You can configure Multi-Instrument Mode directly on the Moku app for iPad or desktop. Download a free demo of the app here.
With Moku Cloud Compile, you can deploy custom VHDL or Verilog code directly into one of the instrument slots in Multi-Instrument Mode and run their algorithms alongside the built-in instruments for debugging, data sharing, and more.
