Simulated PXIe-4322 overcurrent is not consistent

[zhindes]

Bug Report

These tests (tests/component/task/test_out_stream_write_properties.py) use a simulated PXIe-4322 ("aoTester") to validate basic functionality of runtime-checked attributes.

• test___ao_current_task___get_bool_property___returns_default_value
• test___ao_current_task___get_string_list_property___returns_default_value

We assume it will always return false (and therefore an empty set of channels), but that doesn't appear to be the case. I looked at the driver code and this goes all the way to the primitive even on simulated devices. It checks if an interrupt occurred or if a register is set. On a simulated device, that register value is random memory and seems like it can indicate a flipped bit.

Repro or Code Sample

Run the component tests and get (un)lucky.

Expected Behavior

This shouldn't be intermittent.

Current Behavior

It is intermittent, but thankfully quite rare.

Possible Solution

We either need to find a new device that we know is consistent or mayb disable these tests.

Context

This run failed on only a single OS for those tests, but consistently. This was for #831 . I am going to queue another one.

I saw this failure on the nidaqmxbot image pipeline, will add an xfail
