Detect Hardware to Run VI

[Andrew_AAM]

I'll preface this by saying I'm in the early phases of learning Labview, though that's likely evident by my question.

I only want to run my VI if a specific device - an NI USB-6229 (Dev1) is detected, both at program startup and any time while the program is running. I'm only using this one device and my program isn't meant to be used on any computer other than my own, so I don't believe I need an array of device product types or names as I've seen in other posts and example programs. I don't wish to add anything to the front panel. I simply want to quit running my VI if the DAQ is not plugged in or becomes unplugged at any given time. Below is what I want to happen, though I understand is not the correct way to code it.

Any help would be much appreciated!

This is how you get device type.  Maybe this will help you get started.
