Keysight 34934A - Physical Module Arrangement in 34980 A Mainframe

3 Expanded-Row Matrix Configuration
214 Keysight 34934A User’s Guide
Physical Arrangement of Multiple 34934A Modules in a 34980A
Mainframe
You can employ anywhere from two to eight modules in a single 34980A
mainframe to create an expanded matrix. This will depend on slot availability and
your needs.
If using Terminal Blocks The terminal blocks must be linked (“daisy-chained”
in the case of more than two modules) with module interconnections extending
from the expansion headers at the rear of the terminal blocks.
If using Configuration Blocks The configuration blocks must be linked
(“daisy-chained” in the case of more than two modules) with module
interconnections extending from the expansion headers at the sides of the
configuration blocks.
For flexibility, you can make these connections from either the right or left side of
each configuration block.
In either case Plan carefully to provide adequate physical room to make all
needed connections and allow for insertion/removal of other modules.
Some terminal blocks for other 34980A modules are shorter than those for the
34934A; if placed side-by-side in the mainframe, the 34934A may preclude
independent removal of the shorter module. Therefore, if you need to attach or
remove a shorter terminal block—adjacent to a 34934A with attached
34934T—the 34934T will need to be removed first.
