Making a Connection
Both the scanning command, r2->c1;, and the immediate operation, niSwitch Connect Channels VI or the niSwitch_Connect function with parameters r2 and c1, result in the following connection:
signal connected to R2 is routed to C1

Matrix Expansion
You can expand the matrices of the module by increasing the number of columns in the matrix using the MCX Plug to MCX Plug RG316 cable. Complete the following steps to expand the number of columns of a matrix.
- Connect one end of the MCX Plug to MCX Plug RG316 cable to a row out (rXout) connector on the module.
- Connect the other end of the MCX Plug to MCX Plug RG316 cable to a row in (rX) connector on another PXI/PXIe-2540 or PXI/PXIe-2541 module.
- Repeat for all rows on which column expansion is desired.
