Versatile analog front-end

Moku:Lab’s analog frontend is designed for maximum versatility. Its two 500 MSa/s inputs can be configured for AC or DC coupling, 50 Ω or 1 MΩ impedance and an input voltage range of 1 V_pp or 10 V_pp.

Moku:Lab also features two 1 GSa/s outputs with 300 MHz anti-aliasing filters, allowing you to generate two high-precision waveforms whilst measuring on its inputs.

Freedom in the lab

With Moku:Lab, you’re not tethered to your equipment. Control your experiment wirelessly and move freely throughout the lab with your measurements at your side.

Precision timing

Moku:Lab features an ultra-stable internal oscillator with better than 500 ppb accuracy, as well as 10 MHz input and output references for synchronization with external timebases.

External trigger

Moku:Lab features a dedicated DC to 5 MHz external trigger input designed for TTL (1.8 to 5 Volts) voltages. Some instruments (e.g., the Arbitrary Waveform Generator) use Moku:Lab’s analog inputs as high-precision external triggers, giving you more control over your system’s trigger settings.

Input voltage noise

Describes the analog frontend’s noise-floor

• Represented as an amplitude spectral density (magnitude of input voltage noise at different frequencies normalized to a 1 Hz bandwidth)
• It is impossible to resolve spectral features below the input voltage noise-floor.
• Key specification for lock-in amplifiers as it can limit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in weak-signal applications

ADC noise-free code resolution

Number of bits of resolution beyond which it is no longer possible to resolve individual codes

• Measured for 3 µs at 500 MSa/s with 50 Ω terminated inputs
• Calculated based on peak-to-peak ’code noise’ at the output of the ADC with terminated inputs. Units are Least Significant Bits (LSBs).
• Noise-free code resolution = log₂(2^N / [ 6.6 x σ ]) where σ is the RMS error (standard deviation) of the code noise distribution and 2^N is the full range of the ADC

ADC cross-talk

Cross-talk (interference) from one ADC to the other

• Measured from 120 MHz down to 1 MHz where radio-frequency (RF) cross-talk is most severe
• Cross-talk is caused by the coupling of electro-magnetic radiation from one conducting element (wire) to another. The wires in electronic circuits act as antennas.
