Two USB6008 on different hubs - how to tell one from the other

My PC supports two instruments where each instrument is made of a hub, an acquisition of data USB6008 and an another mfg DAQ. The two hubs connect to two USB ports respective on the PC.

I have code that traverses the tree of USB and concludes each hub and then searches each device in turn. This allows me to 'pair' two USB devices on a per-hub basis. Even though I have the USB tree info, I don't know the name of the device (e.g. Dev1) of just the info from the USB, so I'm not able to explicitly open the unit. Is it possible, I can open a device based on its USB hub/port location? It seems that all the open calls require the name of the device.

Thanks for all the ideas.

Read the serial number of the data acquisition.  You should then be able to find the name.  Perhaps change the names of /dev1 to something more descriptive when you set in MAX.
