Description
Description of issue
Due to a bug in NI-DCPower driver runtime 2022 Q3 (Internal error AB#1973297), doing self_cal on a simulated session with a resource name that doesn't match real h/w present in the system returns an error.
To work around this bug, the self_cal system test passes an empty string for resource_name. Once the internal bug is fixed, the workaround should be removed.

Locate the nidcpower self_cal system test and inspect how it supplies resource_name. First confirm that the NI-DCPower runtime bug is fixed, then remove the empty-string workaround and run the affected system test to verify self_cal succeeds with the normal resource name.
