How do I demodulate a signal at a higher harmonic with an external reference?
Use Moku to demodulate at harmonics of the reference signal

Moku Lock-in Amplifiers implement a digital Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) which allows tracking of an external reference signal. The PLL provides in-phase ('I') and quadrature ('Q') outputs to enable dual phase demodulation. The PLL allows a manual setting of the reference frequency and also an automatic mode which will acquire the strongest harmonic in the input signal.
The PLL also allows for generation of a harmonic of the reference signal. The PLL multiplier can be set from 0.125 up to 250 in steps of 0.125 to allow for very flexible demodulation and detection of harmonics.
