Liquid Instruments Raised $12M in Funding to Expand Operations

Liquid Instruments, a provider of test and measurement solutions, has secured a $12 million funding round. The company plans to expand its presence in Australia with the addition of an office in Melbourne and by expanding its manufacturing operations within the country. Liquid Instruments plans to use the funds to scale manufacturing of its field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based Moku devices and recruit talent in engineering and manufacturing.

The company also plans to expand its internship program, targeting students from Victoria (Australia) universities. According to Liquid Instruments co-founder and CEO Daniel Shaddock, the investment will also help the company forge collaborations with researchers from local institutions.

Liquid Instruments' Moku platform uses FPGA technology to integrate a suite of test instruments like oscilloscopes and lock-in amplifiers into a single compact device. Last year, the company integrated the ChatGPT language model into the Moku family of devices.

There are 21 suppliers of Oscilloscopes in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

oscilloscope: A system in which a supplied signal causes the deflection of the electron beam in a cathode-ray tube, thus forming a visible trace on the phosphor screen of the tube and providing for examination of signal characteristics. A CRT oscilloscope is particularly convenient for studying repetitive phenomena, but a tube with a long-delay phosphor can be used to analyze a single electrical pulse. An oscilloscope equipped with a camera becomes an oscillograph.
metrology: Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
lock-in amplifier: A lock-in amplifier is a specialized electronic instrument used to extract and measure small signals embedded in noise or interference. It is particularly useful in fields such as spectroscopy, photonics, communications, and materials science, where researchers need to measure weak signals against a background of noise. lock-in amplifier suppliers → Here is how a lock-in amplifier works and some of its key features: Signal recovery: The primary function of a lock-in...
