outputs

What systems generate

Outputs are what something produces or yields—the results that emerge from a process, system, or effort.

A factory's output is its manufactured goods; a writer's output is their body of work.

In computing, output is data sent from a program or device: The script generates a CSV file as output.

The verb means to produce or send out: The sensor outputs a signal every second.

Contrast with inputs, which go in.
