3.6 DATA LINES

The GPIB provides eight data lines for a bit parallel/byte serial data

transfer. These eight data lines use the convention of DIO1 through DIO8
instead of the binary designation of D0 to D7. The data lines are
bidirectional and are active low.

3.7 MULTILINE COMMANDS

Multiline (bus) commands are sent by the Active Controller over the

data bus with ATN asserted. These commands include addressing
commands for talk, listen, Untalk and Unlisten.

3.7.1 Go To Local (GTL)

This command allows the selected devices to be manually

controlled. ($01)
