Description

In many places throughout the nimi-python documentation, broken hyperlinks that look similar to "<REPLACE_DRIVER_SPECIFIC_URL_2(array_measurements_refs)>" are present. They are generated this way from the internal hapigen metadata. This should be addressed when nimi-python documentation is improved. For examples, see methods like configure_horizontal_timing or self_cal in the generated NI-SCOPE documentation.

Research direction

Start by inspecting docs/niscope/class.rst and the configure_horizontal_timing or self_cal entries cited in the issue. Trace how hapigen metadata generates placeholders such as <REPLACE_DRIVER_SPECIFIC_URL_2(array_measurements_refs)>. Done means the relevant concept pages exist and the generated documentation hyperlinks no longer contain broken placeholders.
