This guide describes how to make signal connections, install the
SCXI-1335 terminal block, and use the matrix expansion plug with
your SCXI-1129 module. Refer to the

SCXI-1129 User Manual

for more

detailed information about using the SCXI-1335 terminal block with the
SCXI-1129 module.

Introduction

The SCXI-1335 is one of six terminal blocks that you can install in front of
the SCXI-1129 module. These terminal blocks allow you to easily turn the
SCXI-1129 module into any of the high-density matrix configurations
shown in Table 1:

Note

Common matrix terminology describes matrixes by the number of rows by the

number of columns they contain. For example, four rows by 16 columns would be written
as 4

× 

16.

You can use the SCXI-1335 terminal block with the SCXI-1129 module to
create an 8

×

32 matrix without any extra wiring except for connecting your

signals to the rows and columns of the matrix. You can also combine the
rows and/or columns to create many different matrix configurations. Using
