Synopsis

enableDevice([apply=boolean], [device=string], [enable=boolean], [monitor=boolean], [record=boolean])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

enableDevice is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

-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.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Enables all assignInputDevice and attachDeviceAttr actions for the
# device named "clock"
cmds.enableDevice( enable=True, d='clock' )

# Stops applyTake (with no arguments) from updating param curves
# attached to the minutes  and hours channels of device named "clock"
cmds.enableDevice( 'minutes', 'hours', enable=False, d='clock', apply=True )
