The GPIB has 24 lines. These lines consist of 16 signal lines and eight ground-return or shield-drain lines . The
16 signal lines can be divided into a set of eight parallel (8-bit) data transfer bus lines and a set of eight control
lines. The eight control lines contain five system management lines and handshake lines.
