Description
Description of issue
nidcpower, nidmm, nifgen, niscope, and niswitch have optional support for gRPC. However, they do not have any test coverage for configurations where gRPC is not installed. If these packages had a bug that prevented them from working when grpcio or protobuf is not installed, it would not be caught by the automated tests.

Research direction
Start by locating the automated tests for nidcpower, nidmm, nifgen, niscope, and niswitch and reviewing how optional grpcio and protobuf dependencies are handled. Add coverage for configurations with and without gRPC support, then run the relevant test suites to confirm both configurations work.
