Determining USB device information
This section describes how to obtain several of the most-used USB device parameters.
Determining USB device information for Windows
To obtain the Vendor ID and the Product ID for a USB device on Windows, perform the following
steps:
1. Open the device manager.
Go to the Control Panel and run "System"
Select the "Hardware" tab
Select the "Device Manager" button, this runs the device manager program.
2. Double-click the Universal Serial Bus Controllers
3. Double-click the specific device, which brings up a separate window.
4. Select the Details tab and select one of the following properties from the pull down menu:
"Hardware Ids" property—This property shows the Vendor ID, Product ID and Revision for
the device. The Vendor ID is the 4 hex digits after "Vid_". The Product ID is the 4 hex digits
after "Pid_". The Revision is the 4 hex digits after "Rev_". For example, an iPod has a
"Hardware Ids" property that looks like this:
USB\Vid_05ac&Pid_120a&Rev_0001
This gives us the following values:
iPod Vendor ID 0x05AC
iPod Product ID 0x120A
iPod Revision 0x0001
"Compatible Ids" property—This property shows the class code, subclass code and
protocol code for the device. The class code is the 2 hex digits after "Class_". The subclass
code is the 2 hex digits after the "SubClass_". The protocol code is the 2 hex digits after the
"Prot_". For example, an iPod has a "Compatible Ids" property that looks like this:
USB\Class_08&SubClass_06&Prot_50
This gives us the following values:
iPod Class Code08Mass Storage Device
iPod Subclass Code06SCSI transparent command set
