In this application note, we present an example and discussion of making accurate impedance measurements with Moku devices. In part one, we explored the math of measuring resistance using the power measurements of the Frequency Response Analyzer. In part two, we will explore inductance measurements. Frequency Response Analyzer The Moku Frequency Response Analyzer (FRA) drives…

Proper hardware validation and stress tests before mass production can save millions of dollars on recalls and redesigns. In this application note, the Moku:Go Logic Analyzer/Pattern Generator will be utilized to validate a digital 4-bit adder by toggling inputs and recording the corresponding outputs. Furthermore, the clock rate will be varied to stress test the…

This is Part 2 of the “Moku Cloud Compile with MathWorks HDL Coder” tutorial. Part 1 can be found here. In part 2, we will use MathWorks’ Simulink to build and deploy a two-channel Schmitt trigger on Moku:Pro. The general workflow between the MATLAB script approach and Simulink model approach is similar, but Simulink provides…

Updated November 22, 2023 Moku Cloud Compile is an innovative feature available on Moku:Pro, Moku:Lab, and Moku:Go. The Moku family of test and measurement tools contain FPGA-based instruments and Moku Cloud Compile allows users to deploy custom VHDL code to a Moku. This code can provide custom features and interact with the existing instruments to…

With Liquid Instruments’ Moku Cloud Compile tool, users can deploy their own custom digital signal processing (DSP) on the Moku:Pro FPGA. FPGA programming is typically done with hardware description language (HDL). The learning curve for HDL coding can be steep compared to software programming languages, therefore in this tutorial, we will cover how to program…
