Getting DAQ device name programmatically VB .NET

I have multiple USB-6210 DAQ devices. I am using Visual Studio to create a GUI for data capturing. Only one DAQ is connected to the PC at one time.

 

When the DAQ device is first connected to a computer it is given a default name. For example, the first one connected will be Dev1 and the next one will be Dev2. I want each of the devices to perform the same way when using my VS program. To do this, I need to figure out how to get the name of the connected device (or a list of connected devices) to tell it to look for that device's PFI0 port for example. I don't want to have to change the program for each device or look elsewhere for it like in the device manager. I want the program to recognize that there is a connected device and know what its name is.

 

Help very appreciated.
