How do I detect USB enumeration in LabVIEW? I want to detect when a USB device has been plugged in.

Dear Guru,

The link you attached is showing some exception error. HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - Entry not found in index.

I hope devcon will do what you want. Search the forum and you will get lot more information. Post back for any kinda queries.

If you're on Windows you can also use the Windows Message Queue Library.

Thanks. The devcon utility will work, but it pops up a command prompt window, which is undesirable. The Window message queue library seems a bit complicated.  Actually I want to detect a USB device which enumerates as a COM port. I believe the VISA Find Resource function might work for me.

Anything wrong this this...?

When I tried to used this same system the output (find list) gave me the reading "ASRL3::INSTR" I believe this means COM3. Did you have the same outcome? Also, if you open up MAX (Measurement & Automation), you can communicate with your device using VISA interface.

Yes, for the find list I get an array of serial and parallel ports available on my PC.

[ADrexelDragon]

It looks like you found out which USB port each input is.

Sidd,

off the bottom of the command window vi is a boolean to run the window minimized.
