Detect hardware model before adding it to recording server

Is it possible to detect the hardware model before adding it to a recording server? When doing a scanhardware task the only thing you get is the hardware driver. For example axis 1 channel device. But I need to know which model exactly.

Also knowing the possible settings (hardwaredefinitions?) before adding it to the recorder would be very interesting.

Thanks in advance!

We unfortunately don’t have any APIs for accessing this information before the device has been added.
