Keysight 34932A – Dual 4×16 Armature Matrix for 34980A

The 34932A dual 4×16 armature matrix contains two matrices, each with 64 2-wire crosspoint latching armature relays organized in a 4-row by 16-column configuration. Every row and column are made up of two wires each, a high (H) and a low (L). Each crosspoint relay has a unique channel number representing the row and column that intersect to create the crosspoint. For example, channel 315 represents the crosspoint connection between row 3 and column 15 (all columns consisting of two digits; in this case the digits are 15).

You can connect any combination of inputs and outputs at the same time. However, only Matrix 2 in this module connects to the Analog Buses. By closing channels 921 and 922 you can connect rows 5 and 6 respectively to the internal DMM of the 34980A mainframe for voltage and resistance measurements. You can connect multiple matrix modules externally and/or through the Analog Buses for applications that require large matrices.

When the power is off, matrix relays maintain state, and Analog Bus relays open.
