How do I read a singal on row 1 with my DMM connected to the HVBP

I have placed a signal on c1 of my SCXI 1129 and connected it to r1. Then I connected r1 to com1 and com1 to ab1. At this point how do I read that voltage using my DMM that is connected to the backplane. I was able to do it by using c0, r0, com0, ab0 and I recieved the proper measurement. Also, i should not that I have done all my testing using the front softpanels.

The HV8-BAN4 cable you use with the high voltage backplane only gives access to AB0+/- and AB2 +/-. AB0 +/- are routed to the DMM sense +/- and AB2+/- are used for 4-wire resistance measurements.

I was interested in connecting the 4 DMM leads to R0 thru R3 of a 4x64 matrix. It is not possible with the standard cable. The response accurately described the cable. Documentation that points this out seems to be lacking.
