1. Do you perform firmware update before using the device? If so
device may reboot and change descriptors / reenumerate after firmware
update, please verify the parameters before and after the update.

2. # usbconfig list; note your device ugenX.Y; # usbconfig -d X.Y
dump_all_desc; see device configurations interfaces and serial number.
Maybe you will be able to provide serial number to the software as the
analyzer id?

1. # vim /etc/devfs.rules:
 [localrules=10]
        add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 group operator
        add path 'usb/*'  mode 0660 group operator
        add path 'usb' mode 0770 group operator

2.  # vim /etc/rc.conf:
        devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

3. # pw groupmod operator -m <your_user_name_to_use_usb>

4. # service devfs restart

5. logout and login your local user to see if access right are correct now.
