E1469A Terminal Module
Connectors
Figure 1-9 shows the E1469A terminal module connectors and associated
row/column designators. Shielding jumpers JM1 - JM12 are shown. See
"Creating Larger Matrices" for information on using the expansion
connectors J1 - J5 and for shield wiring details.
NOTE Jumpers JM1 - JM12 on the E1469A 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.
Available Cables To assist you in wiring Relay Matrix Switch terminal modules into your test
system, this table shows a list of cables that are available from Agilent.
