Synopsis

enableDevice([apply=string...], [device=string], [enable=boolean], [monitor=boolean], [query=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 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.

Flags

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

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 )
