Description

Bug Report

As part of #934, I added several words to DAQmx dictionary that look like typos that would break backward compatibility. Comments for those words include the word "typo".

I suggest we visit each item in the list and decide whether it is indeed a typo, and whether to fix it or not. Depending on those decisions, we should either fix the code and remove items from the dictionary, or change the comments in the dictionary.

Repro or Code Sample

Search for "typo" in the dictionary.

Expected Behavior

API without typos.

Current Behavior

See above.

Possible Solution

See above.

Context

See above.

Your Environment

N/A. These typos show regardless of the environment.

Research direction

Search the dictionary for "typo" and review each matching entry and its comment. Decide whether each word is actually a typo, then either update the API and remove the dictionary entry or revise the comment. Confirm that the resulting API no longer exposes the identified typos.
