In its eighth year, Design World’s LEAP Awards showcase the best engineering innovations across several design categories. This wouldn’t be possible without the commitment and support of the engineering community. The editorial team assembles OEM design engineers and academics each year to create an independent judging panel. Below is their selection for this year’s LEAP Awards winners in the Test & Measurement category.
Congratulations to the LEAP Awards for Test & Measurement winners, who are profiled here:
Gold
Liquid Instruments
Moku:Delta
Liquid Instruments’ Moku:Delta is the first test and measurement device to introduce Generative Instrumentation, combining an advanced multi-instrument test platform with the power of agentic AI. This entirely new approach to test enables engineers to design and deploy custom instruments and automatically configure complex systems with natural language prompts. Instead of hours spent manually optimizing numerous parameters or creating custom code, users simply describe what they want, and Moku:Delta with Generative Instrumentation configures itself. Beyond Generative Instrumentation, Moku:Delta delivers the highest-resolution, 2 GHz Oscilloscope and the only Spectrum Analyzer providing full 2 GHz bandwidth down to 0 Hz for precise 1/f noise measurements to fully characterize device performance. The platform also includes the highest-channel count, ultra-low noise, microwave Lock-in Amplifier for advanced research. Moku:Delta is designed to deliver a level of performance previously unseen in software-defined instrumentation. At its core, it offers 2 GHz analog bandwidth, eight analog inputs and eight outputs at up to 5 GSa/s, and 32 high-speed digital I/O channels. It supports a reconfigurable suite of 15 standard instruments and can run up to eight of them simultaneously, delivering over 2 billion possible configurations in a compact 2U form factor. This flexibility and performance empower users to respond to changing requirements and vastly improve productivity for applications like quantum research, semiconductor validation, and aerospace and defense. Supercharged by Generative Instrumentation, Moku:Delta both simplifies everyday tasks and enables entirely new capabilities on demand, unlocking previously impossible test solutions.
