From your question I think you will need a user mode application which should read/write commands through USB.(I guess you don't need to write a driver).

If you are on Windows System using WinUSB is a good option to try out, How to Access a USB Device by Using WinUSB Functions (Windows Drivers)[^] link should get you started.

On Linux based system libusb[^] is a good option.

Remember the commands you send to the USB device have to processed by that target device.
