General Output Device Questions

For each output device, the questions vary depending on the device type, the following questions always appear.

Device Type

Enter the device type Archive, Link,Network, Printer, Window, or UNUSED.

Menu alias

Select a text alias that is displayed in the pull down menus where you are selecting an output device.

The alias allows easy identification of output devices. For example, you may have window outputs on several different workstations, and you could place the node name here.

Min time between output

For slow network outputs, you can pace the outputs such that some of the outputs are skipped by selecting a pacing time here.

To enable this feature, you must also tag the product header lines with the Time Filter bit in the Product Output Menu.
