deviceManager is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command queriers the internal device manager for information
on attached devices.

index of the axis. |
|
attachment(att) |
boolean |
|
|
Returns the plugs that a device and axis are attached to.
Expects the -deviceIndex and axisIndex to be used in
conjunction. |

int |
|
|
Returns the name of the device with the given index. |
|
numAxis(nax) |
boolean |
|
|
Returns the number of axis this device has. Expects the
-deviceIndex flag to be used. |
|
axisName(axn) |
boolean |
|
|
Returns the name of the axis. Expects the -deviceIndex and
-axisIndex flags to be used in conjunction. |

boolean |
|
|
Returns the offset of the axis. Expects the -deviceIndex and
-axisIndex flags to be used in conjunction. |
|
axisCoordChanges(acc) |
boolean |
|
|
Returns whether the axis coordinate changes. Expects the
-deviceIndex and -axisIndex flags to be used in conjunction. |
