Retrieve USB device location information (port # and hub #)

How in LabVIEW can you retrieve the USB device's location information - its port # and hub #? Pulling up the device properties from Windows' Device Manager shows the Location along with the Device Type and Manufacturer. See the attached screenshot.

 

Thanks in advance!

My only suggestion is to look into calling DevCon.exe to try to get this information.  Here is one article talking about this command line program from Microsoft.

 

EDIT:  Here are a few more links talking about Devcon

Hi, I've tried devcon.exe but I couldn't find the right command to have it print out the usb device's location information, the port # and hub #.
