Description

Tech Debt

Typos from daqmx terms dictionary may mask unintentional references to those typos.

They are in a dictionary because the typos must show up in several files.

Put typos into a separate daqmx typos dictionary, then provide overrides with that dictionary for the handful of files where typos are legitimately present in.

Research direction

Start by locating the daqmx terms dictionary and the handful of files where its typo entries are legitimately needed. Trace how those dictionaries are consumed, then separate typo entries while preserving explicit overrides for those files. Done means unintended typo references are no longer masked, while legitimate references still appear in the affected files.
