3 Expanded-Row Matrix Configuration
212 Keysight 34934A User’s Guide
Linking Multiple 34934A Matrix Modules
You can combine up to eight modules to design your own large matrices. From a
programming standpoint, each matrix module operates as an independent
module regardless of the external connections. When linking modules, the
channel numbering scheme for each module remains the same as for single
modules.
The maximum row width (in columns) you can create with a single 34934A module
is 128 for four rows, 64 for eight rows or 32 for 16 rows. Using multiple modules in
the same 34980A mainframe—electrically linked using external cabling—you can
create the following expanded-row matrix configurations:
Both the terminal blocks and configuration blocks provide a convenient means to
link multiple 34934A modules, so that the resulting expanded-row structure can
be treated as a single matrix.
Four-Row Matrices:
Order a terminal block 34934T-001 (Option 001) or
configuration block 34934C-001 (Option 001) for each 34934A module used in an
expanded row matrix whose base configuration is four rows.
Eight-Row or Sixteen-Row Matrices:
Order a terminal block 34934T-002
(Option 002) or configuration block 34934C-002 (Option 002) for each 34934A
module used in an expanded row matrix whose base configuration is eight or
sixteen rows.
Each terminal block or configuration block must be configured and wired
individually, as if a stand-alone base matrix; complete instructions are in
Chapter 2, “Base Matrix Configuration”. All blocks in an expanded row matrix
must have their ID and CONFIG jumpers set identically.
