Overview of the 34934A 1
Keysight 34934A User’s Guide 17
2 Select your wiring method:
– use of an optional screw terminal block
– use of an optional configuration block
– direct wiring to the module’s high-density D-Sub connectors
3 If using a terminal block:
a Select and apply a wiring guide overlay to the terminal block, if required, for 
the chosen configuration.
b Place jumpers and terminators on the terminal block to configure the 
selected base matrix. 
c Connect your field wiring to the terminal block.
4 If using a configuration block:
a Place jumpers and terminators on the configuration block to configure the 
selected base matrix and wiring options. 
b Wire jumpers to short the safety interlock pins on each of the configuration 
block’s D-Sub connectors.
c Connect your field wiring to the configuration block.
5 If using direct wiring:
a Connect your field wiring to the module’s D-Sub connectors, using the 
corresponding D-Sub connector drawings and pin assignment table.
b Make additional wiring connections to configure the selected base matrix 
configuration and safety interlock continuity.
Chapter 2, “Base Matrix Configuration” has one section for each base matrix 
configuration (e.g. 4x64, 16x32, etc.). Each section contains complete instructions 
for terminal block use, configuration block use, and direct wiring. 
Extended-Row Matrix Configurations
In practice, you will follow these steps to select, configure, and wire an 
extended-row matrix, combining two or more 34934A modules:
1 Determine your matrix configuration (just a few possibilities are shown):
– 4x256 (requires two 34934A modules, each with a base configuration of 
4x128)
– 4x512 (requires four 34934A modules; base configuration of 4x128)
