Moku model: Pro
Operating system: Windows
Software version: 4.2.1.1 build 14330-d7cec6b2
Bug or support request description: I need to configure the following to Moku Pro, it seems documentation is little off, so i have a hard time configuring.
This is how i route the connections in Multi-Instrument Mode:
-
Slot 1’s Output 2 wire → front-panel Output 1 icon.
-
Slot 2’s Output 1 wire → front-panel Output 3 icon.
-
Front-panel Input 2 icon → Slot 3’s Input A wire.
Configuration the three instruments
Configure in this exact order: Slot 2 first, then Slot 3, then Slot 1. This guarantees the pulse-amplitude line is at 0 V before the AWG can possibly fire.
Slot 2 — Waveform Generator (holds pulse amplitude at 0 V)
Click into Slot 2.
Channel 1:
-
Waveform: DC.
-
DC offset: 0.000 V.
-
Output Term: 50 Ω.
-
Output: Enabled.
Verify the displayed output reads 0.000 V before continuing.
Slot 3 — Oscilloscope (watches probe coil current on Input 2)
Click into Slot 3.
Channel A: source Input 2, range ±2 V, coupling DC, impedance 50 Ω (matches the coax chain from B3).
Time base: 200 ns/div.
Trigger: source Channel A, level −0.3 V, slope falling edge (the probe’s coil current pulse is negative-going per QSG p.14).
Trigger mode: Normal (so the scope only updates when a real pulse arrives — no free-running display).
Slot 1 — Arbitrary Waveform Generator (fires single trigger pulses on demand)
Configure but do not enable Output 2 yet.
Click into Slot 1.
Channel 2 waveform: Square pulse, period chosen so that one cycle is ~200 ns. Flag: the AWG’s UI for defining a single 100-ns-wide pulse may differ between Moku app versions. Two equivalent recipes —
-
Recipe A: load a Square waveform at frequency 5 MHz (period 200 ns), 50% duty → one cycle = one 100 ns high + 100 ns low. With Burst N-Cycle = 1, a click emits exactly one such cycle.
-
Recipe B: load a custom 1024-point arbitrary waveform whose first 50% samples are +1 and second 50% are 0, with sample rate set such that one full waveform period = 200 ns.
Either gives a single 100 ns positive pulse per click. If you can’t get either to work, ping me and we’ll figure out the exact UI path for your app version.
Channel 2 amplitude: 5 Vpp.
Channel 2 offset: +2.5 V (so the pulse swings 0 V → +5 V, not −2.5 V → +2.5 V).
Channel 2 output Term: 50 Ω.
Modulation:
-
Mode: Burst.
-
Burst mode: N-Cycle.
-
Burst cycles: 1.
-
Trigger source: Manual.
-
Channel 2 output: leave Disabled for now.
Can you please help?
