USB Serial Devices - Description and Information

[cassaniti]

Hello folks, I am trying to detect which kind of USB/Serial device is connected through Labview: through the VISA Find Resources i can list all the GPIB/ASRL devices connected and then through the Interfice Type i can detect the Serial/USB devices (interface number 4) and through the Interface Description I can get the name (COM7 for example).

Now my point is that if i look on the "Device Manager" in Windows i can see the "Manufacturer Name" and the "Device Description from BUS" of the Serial Device connected. Is there a way to get those information inside Labview?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hello Dario,

the best option might be to use DevCon, a commandline based device manager from Microsoft.

Windows Device Console (Devcon.exe) (Windows Drivers)

There are various threads and posts about this tool and how to use it.

Please refer to the search function in the forum.

Best regards,
