MSP430FR2675: How can I find the device ID string that belongs to my MSP-FET on macOS?

Part Number: MSP430FR2675
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET

How can I find the device ID string that belongs to my MSP-FET on macOS?  I need this value to run the BSL Scripter tool.  I think it will look something like this, but I'm not sure which it is, if any.

I think this is my MSP-FET in the system report, but it doesn't provide the device string that I need.

I tried to take a guess at a couple likely candidates, but got these errors:

    Try this. With the USB Device Tree window open, and the MSP-FET connected, disconnect the MSP-FET to test if any USB devices disappear from the list. That may give you a clue.

    An old version of the Hardware Tools user guide, SLAU278P, states that the USBVI and USBPID for the MSP-FET430UIF is 0x2047 and 0x0010 respectively, back in 2013. A newer version may have those numbers updated.

    The USB name "MSP Tools Driver," as seen in your image might be it.
