E1468A Terminal Module
Connectors
Figure 1-8 shows the E1468A terminal module connectors and associated
row/column designators. Shielding jumpers JM1 - JM10 are shown. See
"Creating Larger Matrices" for information on using the expansion
connectors J1 - J4 and for shield wiring details.
NOTE Jumpers JM1 - JM10 on the E1468A terminal module connect row/column
shields to earth ground through the VXIbus backplane. You may want to
remove one or more of these jumpers to reduce common mode noise.
