1 Overview of the 34934A
18 Keysight 34934A User’s Guide
– 8x128 (requires two 34934A modules; base configuration of 8x64)
– 16x64 (requires two 34934A modules; base configuration of 16x32)
– 16x256 (requires eight 34934A modules; base configuration of 16x32)
The 4x32, 4x64 and 8x32 base configurations can be operated as 2-wire
channel pairs programmatically.
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 Configure and wire each individual module as if a stand-alone matrix using the
base configuration instructions in Chapter 2.
4 Create a daisy-chain connection between the modules (either by
interconnecting the terminal blocks or configuration blocks), using the
instructions in Chapter 3.
Benefits of Using the Terminal and Configuration Blocks with the
34934A
You have three options for connecting field wiring to the 34934A:
–Terminal Blocks
– Configuration Blocks
–Direct Wiring
Terminal Blocks
Terminal blocks provide convenient access through screw terminals to the rows
and columns of the matrix. Additionally, the rows can also be wired to 20-pin
extension headers on the block.
Terminal block 34934T-001 is used with the 4x32, 4x64 and 4x128 matrices.
Terminal block 34934T-002 is used with the 8x32, 8x64 and 16x32 matrices. The
34934T-001 is shown below.
