Description

The docs for nidmm.Session.perform_open_cable_comp() says to use the returned values with nidmm.Session.ConfigureOpenCableCompValues(), but that is not available in nidmm.Session....

For the NI 4082 and NI 4072 only, performs the open cable compensation measurements for the
current capacitance/inductance range, and returns open cable compensation Conductance and
Susceptance values. You can use the return values of this method as inputs to
nidmm.Session.ConfigureOpenCableCompValues()."

Thank you!

Research direction

Start with the nidmm.Session.perform_open_cable_comp() and nidmm.Session.perform_short_cable_comp() documentation, then inspect the referenced nidmm.Session.ConfigureOpenCableCompValues() name. Update the misleading documentation for both methods and verify that the documented API references are available and accurate.
