Method Detail

getStringDescriptors

java.lang.String[] getStringDescriptors()

return the string USB descriptors for the device. By USB convention, the first string is the manufactuer, the second is product, and the last is the unique serial number. The serial number may not be implemented, in which case a null string may be the third string or the length of the returned array may only be 2.

Returns:

String[] of USB descriptors

getVIDPID

int[] getVIDPID()

Deprecated. use getVID and getPID instead

return the USB VID/PID of the interface

Returns:

int[] of length 2 containing the Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) of the device. First element is VID, second element is PID.

getVID

short getVID()

Returns:

PID (vendor ID)

getPID

short getPID()

Returns:

PID (product ID)

getDID

short getDID()

Returns:

DID (device ID). This is the firmware version number, not the serial number. A device may not set the firmware version number in it's descriptors. Returns 0 then. DVS128 and the USBAERmini2 do have it.
