This function will get the device information of the device actually connected. This information may be slightly different
than the information contained in the Windows Registry. For example, if a WaveBook/516A was created using the DaqX
control panel applet, but a WaveBook/512A is actually connected, the device information structure returned by this
function will reflect the WaveBook/512A.
