Automated control

The Python API takes Moku hardware to the next level, turning it into an automated test, measurement, and control device for your lab. Python integration enables your Moku to automatically:

  • Switch instruments
  • Acquire and process measurements in real-time
  • Save data logs/metadata for post-processing
  • Generate output signals to control your system
