Synopsis

enableDevice -d device [-on | -off | -q ] [ -mon | -rec | -app chan ... ]

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.
