enableDevice [-apply] [-device string] [-enable boolean] [-monitor] [-record]
enableDevice is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
Sets (or queries) the device enable state for actions involving the device.
- -monitor
- affects all assignInputDevice and attachDeviceAttr actions for
the named device
- -record
- controls if the device is recorded (by default) by a recordDevice
action
- -apply channelName [channelName ... ]
- controls if data from the device channel is applied (by default)
by applyTake to the param curves attached to the named channel.
Disabling a channel for applyTake cause applyTake to ignore
the enable state of all "child" channels -- treating them as disabled.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
