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.
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:

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
