32 Configuring the Matrix Modules Chapter 2
Creating a 4x256
Matrix
Figure 2-12 shows how to connect four E1466A 4x64 modules to create a
4-row by 256-column matrix. This configuration requires three E1466-80002
Daisy Chain Expansion cables. The daisy chain rows of the first module are
connected to the rows of the next module. The daisy chain rows of the
second module are then connected to the rows of the next module, etc.
You can continue this pattern to create even larger matrixes. For example,
to connect row 03 to column 255, use CLOSe (@40363). This command will
close the relay on card 4, row 3, column 63.
