This guide describes how to install and connect signals to the National Instruments SCXI-1334
terminal block to configure the SCXI-1129 switch module as a 4 × 64 matrix.

Screw terminals on the SCXI-1334 allow you to access the 4 × 64 matrix. The SCXI-1334 also
contains terminals for scanner advanced output and external input trigger signals, two 128-pin
DIN connectors for connecting columns between modules, and 10-pin headers for connecting
rows between modules using expansion cables.
