ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION GUIDE
SCXI -1384K Custom Terminal
™
Block Kit
Introduction
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.
This guide describes how to assemble your custom terminal block, make
signal connections, and install your custom terminal block.
The SCXI-1384K custom terminal block installs in front of the SCXI-1129
module. This terminal block allows you to easily turn the SCXI-1129
module into a high-density matrix configuration designed to meet your
needs.
You can use the SCXI-1384K custom terminal block with the SCXI-1129
module to create a custom 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. Refer to Chapter 2, Using the SCXI-1129, in the SCXI-1129
User Manual for more information.
The SCXI-1384K custom terminal block has solder terminals that provide
access to each of the four 4 × 16 matrixes. Also, connections for scanner
advanced and external trigger signals are available.
