The NI TB-2644 terminal block creates a 1-wire dual 8×32 matrix topology with the NI PXI/PXIe-2532 (NI 2532). The NI TB-2644B terminal block creates a 1-wire dual 8×32 matrix topology with the NI PXI/PXIe-2532B (NI 2532B).The following figure represents the NI 2532/2532B in the 1-wire dual 8×32 matrix topology.
For bank 0, both the scanning command, b0r1->b0c1;, and the immediate operation, niSwitch Connect Channels VI or the niSwitch_Connect function with parameters b0r1 and b0c1, result in the following connection:
signal connected to B0R1 is routed to B0C1
For bank 1, both the scanning command, b1r1->b1c1;, and the immediate operation, niSwitch Connect Channels VI or the niSwitch_Connect function with parameters b1r1 and b1c1, result in the following connection:
signal connected to B1R1 is routed to B1C1

Note While you can, for example, connect B0R1 to B0C0, you cannot connect B0R1 directly to B1C1 in this topology. |
The NI TB-2644 terminal block connects the banks of the NI 2532 to create the 1-wire dual 8×32 matrix topology. The NI TB-2644B terminal block connects the banks of the NI 2532B to create the 1-wire dual 8×32 matrix topology. The following figure illustrates how the native banks on the NI 2532/2532B connect using the NI TB-2644/2644B to create the 1-wire dual 8×32 matrix topology.
The following tables list the pin assignments for the NI TB-2644/2644B column ribbon cable headers.
