Some USB devices for DAQ look just like a serial device. This might not be the case for yours, but it might. If so, it would look like, say, COM5: on Windows.

I recently discovered that USB ports in Windows (probly macintosh too) are highly configurable. Click on the hardware tab in the system control panel, find the com ports item, open it, double click on the com port you want to use. Lotsa configurations there.
Nevertheless, I recently tried to program a biomedical device with a 9 pin serial port, using a USB-->serial adaptor, on Windows XP. As far as I can tell, I did everything right. It still didn't work. Possibly the problem lay with the programming software rather than the com port. Maybe you'll have better luck.
I missed the front end of this thread, so I'm just guessing at the original question. I hope I wasn't too far off. If I was, well, never mind.
