This guide describes how to make signal connections and install the
SCXI-1332 terminal block with your SCXI-1127/1128 module.
The SCXI-1332 terminal block is used with the SCXI-1127 or the
SCXI-1128 module to create a 4 × 8 matrix without needing any extra
wiring except for connecting the signals to the rows and columns of the
matrix. You can use matrix expansion cables to expand the size of the
matrix. Refer to the SCXI-1127/1128 User Manual to use multiple
SCXI-1127/SCXI-1332 or SCXI-1128/SCXI-1332 combinations to
build matrixes larger than 4 × 8.
The SCXI-1332 terminal block has 12 pairs of screw terminals—eight for
accessing eight columns of the matrix and four for accessing four rows
of the matrix. In addition to the screw terminals, the SCXI-1332 has
six connectors for matrix expansion. Four of the six connectors are for
column expansion and two are for row expansion.
