This window allows you to view the list of configured Mover devices and PVL drives. It also provides a
number of function buttons, which allow certain operations to be performed on devices or dr ives.
The Device and Drive List Preferences window may be used to select the device/drives which will be
displayed. Select the columns to be displayed in the list from the Column View menu.
Most of the function buttons to the right of this list require that one or more device/drive entries be
selected from the list. Note that some of the fields in the table may not be visible, depending on the
Column View menu settings.
