Of the devices connected on a bus, devices that receive data are called "listeners," while devices that send data are called "talkers.

The device that manages the whole system is called the "controller", which is normally a computer PC. As the name suggests, the master is the device that has the power to make decisions regarding GPIB communication command transmission, etc.

When configuring a system there must be one master and at least one slave. When controlling a measuring instrument, the PC acting as the controller is the master. Each device connected to a GPIB system has a unique address within the system that is used to identify it. A user-assigned address is called "my address.

Device addresses for the same system can be set freely from 0 to 30, but must not overlap with other addresses. A handshake is a communication method wherein a signal is sent from the sender to the receiver saying, "I'm sending data. By repeating this process, the sender and receiver transfer data while checking that it is being sent and received. Handshake communication allows GPIB to achieve highly reliable data transmission. To prevent data from colliding, the number of devices on a GPIB bus line that can send data at any point in time is restricted to one.

The device that achieves this is the controller. The controller mainly performs the operations below. GPIB signal lines are comprised of eight data lines, three handshake lines, and five management lines. Connector pin assignments are standardized as shown in the pinout below.

It is especially important to understand the role of the management bus lines that are required when putting together a GPIB program. GPIB connector pinout. Management bus lines are used to efficiently control each device connected to the bus line, and manage the flow of information. They play an important role in controlling GPIB devices.

Signal lines other than data lines all consist of a ground line and a twisted pair.
