68 pin connector pinout documentation errors

I just wanted to report this to save others grief. Many of the current NI documents have diagrams which incorrectly mirror the "Mass Termination Pinout" (somewhat unfortunate name!). For example for the NI USB 6251.

 

This is the correct pinout (from a copy of the product manual pdf: https://bholmesqub.github.io/thesis/files/NI_6251.pdf😞

N.B. Terminal 1 is on the right with the long side of the "D" shape downwards.

 

And the incorrect, mirrored pinout with terminal 1 on the left (from the current, official NI docs: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/pci-pcie-pxi-pxie-usb-6251-specs/page/specs.html). The projections on the right of the drawing of the box are rubber feet so indicate this is the bottom side of the device.
