Querying USB-DAQ device type in C#

[Geehman]

I am trying to query the USB-6001 DAQ in VS2022 (C#) - Windows 10 with .NET 4.5 Framework, with the NI DAQmx and Common DLLs added as references - to determine the device present before configuring the various parameters etc.

The app is a fairly simple one to query a few external A/D voltages. 

Using the following returns "Dev1" but what I'm really after is a more elaborate Device type, if that exists (eg "USB-6001"):

• string[] strDevices = DaqSystem.Local.Devices; 

Q: Is there a function that allows one to query that device info?

Use Device class to access its properties.

            Console.WriteLine("Alias\t\tType");
            string[] strDevices = DaqSystem.Local.Devices;
            foreach (string strDev in strDevices)
            {
                Device dev = DaqSystem.Local.LoadDevice(strDev);
                Console.WriteLine(strDev + "\t\t" + dev.ProductType);
            }
