ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION GUIDE

SCXI -1384K Custom Terminal 
Block Kit

This guide describes how to assemble your custom terminal block, make 
signal connections, and install your custom terminal block.

Introduction 

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,

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. 

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
