NI SCXI-1129 2-Wire Quad 4×16 Matrix Topology

The NI SCXI-1333 terminal block provides connections to the NI SCXI-1129 in the 2-wire quad 4×16 matrix topology. The following figure represents the NI SCXI-1129 in the 2-wire quad 4×16 matrix topology.

Making a Connection

The SCXI-1129 in this topology contains four banks of 4×16 matrices. You can only connect rows and columns to rows and columns in the same bank. In this topology, for example, you can connect b1r1 to b1c0; however, you cannot connect b1r1 to b2c1. When connecting signals for b1r1, connect them to B1R1H and B1R1L in the terminal block. When connecting signals for b1c0, you would connect them to B1C0H and B1C0L in the terminal block.

As shown in the previous figure, all banks can connect to the high-voltage analog bus (HVAB). The HVAB routes to the back of the switch module.

You can connect the channels of the NI SCXI-1129 using the niSwitch Connect Channels VI or the niSwitch_Connect function. For example, to connect b1r1 to b1c1, call the niSwitch Connect Channels VI or the niSwitch_Connect function with the channel 1 parameter set to b1r1 and the channel 2 parameter set to b1c1.

When scanning the NI SCXI-1129, a typical scan list entry could be b1r1->b1c1;. This entry routes the signal connected to b1r1 to b1c1.
