34959A breadboard module
Use this module to create your own custom designs inside the 34980A mainframe. You can control your
custom circuits with access to both the +12 V and +5 V supplies, 28 relay drive lines and two 8-bit GPIO
ports. Your design can be isolated from the analog buses or connected by loading the backplane
switches. Simply mount your custom PC board or other components into the space provided and connect
via the two ribbon connectors provided. The module is provided with two 50- or 78-pin Dsub connector
openings. For custom connections, use the detachable flat faceplates for easy modification. You can
program your circuitry using standard read and write commands in SCPI.
