Get CDAQ model number trough ID

[michele.santucci]

Is there a way to collect the model number (or any other unique identifier) of a CDAQ device accessing it trough its ID?
I have a string that identifies the CDAQ name (of course this can be an alias) and I need to get the model number as a
selector key between different settings.
I see I can use propertynodes to collect model number but they need a CDAQ device as input...

Could you use the "DevNames" list as shown here...

... to get a list of all devices on your system, then iterate through them until you find a match for the ID or alias, then use the reference to that match to get the model number?
