Configuring the Matrix Modules 33Chapter 2
Creating an 8x96
Matrix
Figure 2-13 shows how to connect three E1467A 8x32 modules to create an
8-row by 96-column matrix. This configuration requires four 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 4 to column 32, use CLOSe (@20400). This command
closes the relay on card 2, row 4, column 00.
