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
