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; |
| HG | :HUNT GROUP; |
| RES | :RESOURCES; |
| CHAN | :NETWORK CHANNEL; |
| IMPC | :IMAGING WORK STATION |
