7. Requesting Product Output

7.1 Overview of Requesting Product

Output

The product ﬁles created by the product generator are stored on disk. From there, they can

be sent to displays, printers, storage media, or other computers.

The output process adds any requested overlays, then formats the product for the selected

output device. The Product Output menu directs the output to the required destination.

You can use the Product Output menu to browse the available product ﬁles and select some

to send to your workstation. You can also request that all future versions of a particular

product be sent automatically to your workstation or selected device. For example, you

might want to see a PPI product every time a particular volume scan task runs. In addition,

an operator might send a product to a particular destination, such as a remote display,

printer or DVD.

7.2 Product Output Devices and Files

The Product Output menu can route output to many devices:

Printer

Postscript printers conﬁgured on you system.

Window

A color window on the local workstation. The display is generated by the IRIS host.

This window can be exported to appear on a remove workstation.

Network

Sends product ﬁles to another system over the network or to a disk ﬁle on the system.

The remote system can receive a socket notiﬁcation of the ﬁle. The ﬁle format can be

converted to any other format using "output pipes".
