Product Description and Installation
WARNING
Before connecting the cable kit to the instruments, be sure to disconnect all live external
voltages present on the multiplexer and analog bus.
To prevent a possible shock hazard, do not remove the input terminal block cover.
Description
The Keysight Y1133A scanning kit enables system-level scanning and measurements
between standalone Keysight multiplexers and digital multimeters (DMMs). The kit consists
of a measurement cable (Y1133-61601) for the transfer ofinput signals, anda trigger
cable (Y1133-61602) which controls the scanning sequence. The cables arecompatible
with multiplexers such asthe L4421A 40-Channel Armature Multiplexer and L4433A
Dual/Quad 4x8 Reed Matrix, and the 34401A, 34410A, 34411A, andL4411A DMMs.
Connecting the Cables
The scanning kit cables are connected between the multiplexer/matrix and DMM as
described below. An example using the L4411A and L4421A is shown in the figure.

Input Terminal and Connector Pin Out Descriptions
The cables in the Y1133A kit are configured to provide the appropriate routing of the input
and scan control signals. The pin-outs and signal descriptions are shown below.
CAUTION
The maximum voltage limit on the Y1133-61601 cable is 300V DC, AC RMS. Refer to your
DMM and multiplexer user documentation for information on instrument input signal
specifications.
For programming information related to scanning with external (standalone) instruments,
refer to the product’s user documentation.
