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;
OTH :OTHER;
MT :MAGTAPE;
SDP :SDP;
SPL :SPOOL;
BAR :BARCODE READER;
HFS :HOST FILE SERVER;
VTRM :VIRTUAL TERMINAL;
