<h1><center>Output Device</center></h1>
<hr>
The <i>Output Device</i> defines the kind of output the CAM Processor
is to produce. You can select from various device types, like photo plotters,
drill stations etc.
<p>
<b><u>D</u>evice</b>
<p>
Clicking on the button of the <u>D</u>evice selector
opens a list of all available output devices.
<p>
<b><u>S</u>cale</b>
<p>
On devices that can scale the output you can enter a scaling factor in
this field. Values larger than <tt>1</tt> will produce an enlarged output,
values smaller than <tt>1</tt> will shrink the output.
<p>
You can limit the size of the output to a given number of pages by entering
a negative number in the <u>S</u>cale field. In that case the default scale
factor will be 1.0 and will be decreased until the drawing just fits on the
given number of pages. For example, entering "-2" into this field will
produce a drawing that does not exceed two pages. Please note that for this
mechanism to work you will have to make sure that the page width and height
is set according to your output device. This setting can be adjusted in the
Width and Height fields or by editing the file eagle.def.
<p>
<b>File</b>
<p>
You can either enter the name of the
<a href=121.htm>output file</a>
directly into this field, or click on the
File button
to open a dialog for the definition of the output file.<br>
If you want to derive the output filename from the input data file, you
can enter a partial filename (at least an extension, e.g. <tt>.gbr</tt>),
in which case the rest of the filename will be taken from the input data
filename.
<p>
<b>Wheel</b>
<p>
You can either enter the name of the
<a href=112.htm>aperture wheel file</a>
directly into this field, or click on the Wheel button
to open a file dialog to select from.<br>
If you want to derive the output filename from the input data file, you
can enter a partial filename (at least an extension, e.g. <tt>.whl</tt>),
in which case the rest of the filename will be taken from the input data
filename.
<p>
<b>Rack</b>
<p>
You can either enter the name of the
<a href=115.htm>drill rack file</a>
directly into this field, or click on the Rack button
to open a file dialog to select from.<br>
If you want to derive the output filename from the input data file, you
can enter a partial filename (at least an extension, e.g. <tt>.drl</tt>),
in which case the rest of the filename will be taken from the input data
filename.
Some drill devices (like EXCELLON, for instance) can automatically generate the
necessary drill definitions, in which case this field is not present.
