Bus lines
The signal lines on the IEEE-488 bus are grouped into three different categories: data
lines, management lines, and handshake lines. The data lines handle bus data and com-
mands, while the management and handshake lines ensure that proper data transfer and
operation takes place. Each bus line is active low, with approximately zero volts represent-
ing a logic 1 (true). The following paragraphs describe the operation of these lines.
