Waveform Generator
Moku:Pro User Manual
The Moku:Pro Waveform Generator is designed to generate common signals with high accuracy
and configurability across four independent output channels. The outputs are precisely adjustable
for frequency, phase, and amplitude. Further, the outputs may be modulated with a variety of
internally generated or external signals and triggered from flexible, programmable triggers.

    Moku:Pro automatically saves instrument settings when exiting the app, and restores them again at launch. When disabled, all settings will be reset to defaults on launch. Moku:Pro can remember the last used instrument and automatically reconnect to it at launch. When disabled, you will need to manually connect every time.

    This gives you the option to instantly apply settings from other channels to this channel. You can sync the output phase across all channels by tapping sync phase. | Moku:Pro Waveform Generator User Manual © 2023 Liquid Instruments. All rights reserved.

  • Page 8: Output Configuration

    Impedance Moku:Pro analog outputs have an impedance of 50 Ω. As such, voltages supplied to a 50 Ω load will be reduced by a factor of two due to the voltage divider formed by the closed circuit. Changing the load impedance on the user interface does not affect the actual output voltage.

  • Page 14: Modulation Types

    Modulation types The Moku:Pro Waveform Generator supports several modulation and triggering modes. The modulation types available vary between waveforms: pulse-width modulation (PWM) only applies to the Pulse waveform type, while Noise only supports Amplitude Modulation (AM) and reduced triggering functionality. All other waveform types support amplitude, frequency, or phase modulation as well as all available trigger options.

    The trigger event is generated automatically at a given rate (specified period). External A rising edge on the back-panel External Trigger Input is used as the trigger source. For trigger level and precision characteristics, refer to the Moku:Pro Technical Specifications available at liquidinstruments.com. Input The specified analog input is monitored for a rising edge past the specified voltage.
