Keysight 34934A - 34934 A High Density Matrix Module Introduction

1 Overview of the 34934A

34934A High Density Matrix Module
The 34934A is a 512 crosspoint matrix of non-latching reed switches, which you
can operate in any of six different 1-wire topologies or three different 2-wire
topologies. Larger matrices can be created from the base configurations by linking
34934A modules.
This matrix switch module offers a convenient way for you to connect multiple
instruments to multiple points on your device under test (DUT). Instruments and
DUTs are connected through the rows and columns of the matrix.
Available base matrix configurations:
You may configure a single 34934A module:
–As quad 4x32 matrices (M1H, M1L, M2H, M2L). You can operate these as four
independent matrices or as two independent 2-wire matrices.
–As dual 4x64 matrices (MH, ML). You can operate these as two independent
matrices or as a single 2-wire matrix.
– As a single 4x128 matrix.
–As dual 8x32 matrices (MH, ML). You can operate these as two independent
matrices or as a single 2-wire matrix.
– As a single 8x64 matrix.
– As a single 16x32 matrix.
Chapter 2, “Base Matrix Configuration” provides detailed instructions for
configuring each of these base matrices.
Extended-Row Configurations You can create larger matrix configurations by
combining multiple 34934A modules. For multiple modules with the same base
configuration, extending the rows increases the number of columns in the matrix.
For example, two modules each set to 4x128 would combine to create a 4x256
matrix.
Chapter 3, “Expanded-Row Matrix Configuration” provides detailed instructions
for interconnecting modules to create expanded-row matrices.
