Okay if we are making excuses I'll say I'm at 18 years and not a Knight, but then again I created an account to download something and almost never posted for years. And almost never posted for years.  And I have over 3,000 posts on LAVA.  I would have probably been a Knight years ago if those posts transferred.

Yes, yes, rub it in 😶: it took me 25 years to become a knight.

In my defense, a) the forum created 4 account with the exact same name, splitting my posts and b) I had ~8 sabbatical year.

Well, that's by choice 😁. My 4 profiles where decided by the forum. 

No excuse, just a pet peeve I keep mentioning, in idle hope someone at NI will realize how utterly silly it is that a technology company can't (or won't) fix the IT mistakes they made.

(Tongue in cheek, btw, if that's not clear)

You are definitely Sir TDMS. Although the folks at npTDMS are pretty impressive also. They deciphered that DAQmx Raw files use a different datatype descriptor than NI_Datatype. That's useful if you want to read the raw unscaled data.

 Type codes for DAQmx scalers don't match the normal TDMS type codes:
DAQMX_TYPES = {
    0: types.Uint8,
    1: types.Int8,
    2: types.Uint16,
    3: types.Int16,
    4: types.Uint32,
    5: types.Int32,
    6: types.Uint64,
    7: types.Int64,
    8: types.SingleFloat,
    9: types.DoubleFloat,
    0xFFFFFFFF: types.TimeStamp,
}
