Take a look at the VISA Property Node
Instrument I/O---> VISA ---> Advanced ---> VISA Property Node
Right click on the Property node once you have it on the block diagram change it to Read and look at some of these properties for the VISA resource in question
Select Property ---> Interface Information ---> Interface Description
Select Property ---> General Settings ---> Manufacturer Name
Select Property ---> General Settings ---> Manufacturer Identification
You might have to combine the text of one or more of the VISA properties

First, that is the device manager not the task manager.
The device manager refers to identifying information in Windows Hive Keys (HKEY)
You can use either the Windows Registry API or, in the case of COM equipment, the System API can filter those device properties.
