    """Introspect whether a device has 'incomplete sample detection', described here:

        www.ni.com/documentation/en/ni-daqmx/latest/devconsid/incompletesampledetection/

    The result is determined empirically by outputting a pulse on one counter and
    measuring it on another, and seeing whether the first sample was discarded or not.
    This requires a non-simulated device with at least two counters. No external signal
    is actually generated by the device whilst this test is performed. Credit for this
    method goes to Kevin Price, who provided it here:

        forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/_/td-p/3849429

    This workaround will hopefully be deprecated if and when NI provides functionality
    to either inspect this feature's presence directly, or to disable it regardless of
    its presence.
