The DEVICE File (#3.5) is stored in the global root of ^%ZIS(1, and each entry corresponds to a name for I/O (Input and Output) in the VistA system. Generally speaking characters are sent to and received from an I/O device in most computer systems as a normal part of interaction with a user. The devices in VistA are segmented by the TYPE Field which has the following values:
TRM: TERMINAL; | |||||||||
MT:MAGTAPE; | SDP:SDP; | SPL:SPOOL; | BAR:BARCODE READER; | HFS:HOST FILE SERVER; | VTRM:VIRTUAL TERMINAL; | HG:HUNT GROUP; | RES:RESOURCES; | CHAN:NETWORK CHANNEL; | IMPC:IMAGING WORK STATION |
