content: An interview at the Liquid Instruments stand at Electronex 2024 about the Moku range of multi-function mixed signal oscilloscope, designed and built in Australia!Thanks to Ben Price for answering the questions even though he's the mechnical engineer!https://www.liquidinstruments.com/

content: Hello,I am a little disappointed by the specs of the analog inputs.Moku:Pro:Bandwidth (-3 dB) 300 MHz / 600 MHz switchableSampling rate 5 GSa/s with 1 channel, and 1.25 GSa/s with 4 channelsResolution 10 bitsNoise: 300 / 400 uV RMS at 400 mVpp (if my guess is reasonably correct)Memory: Deep memory captures > 60 million samples (Logic Analyser has 262k × 16 input sample depth and up to 32,764 x 16 output sample depth)Best regardsegonottoBest regardsegonotto

content: Specs are on par with the standalone oscilloscopes in this range.The Pro version is a bit expensive, but packs a lot of features. It's an Australian company, so you can't expect chinese prices. And they seem to be doing a great job.

content: Actually the product is more on par with the Analog Discovery. Unfortunately the specifications are severely lacking details. Things like input ranges/sensitivities (if these are even adjustable?) are missing. The 'datasheets' are what I would call a short form brochure. A datasheet should enable people to make a technical purchase decission but this is not possible with what is provided for the Moku devices.

content: I am suitably impressed with the available instrument suite.Sure, its bandwidth is a little on the shy side.The GUI appears to be extremely intuitive, a must for an instrument with so many capabilities.And nowadays, where it appears that every instrumentation breakthrough announcement comes from a Chinese company, it is refreshing to see someone else coming up with smartly designed devices.
