30k post by GerdW

I would like to point out that GerdW has a new badge .

I believe he passed the 30k posts milestone towards the end of 2023. As far as I know, he is only the third user to have that many posts.

GerdW, thank you for your support.

Anybody can make 30k posts, but let me point out that these are 30k stellar and helpful posts!

Congratulations!

(Still hoping that if there are more that one 50k users, the badge will no longer capped at 40k 😄 . We'll see in a few years....)

Yes, he's in a tiny subset in the short list of knights:

forums.ni.com/api/2.0/search?q=SELECT login, metrics.posts,view_href FROM users WHERE rank.name="Knight of NI" LIMIT 1000

Only altenbach (50589!!) and Dennis_Knutson (38992) preceded him.

crossrulz (28940) and RavensFan (26883) are next in line!

This triggered a bunch of people, recursively.

He's OK 😅, but doing less LabVIEW 😫.

Interesting, I had not noticed that only 1 Knight has a 6 digit login ID before. 15k coming soon!

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.

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 I have over 3,000 posts on LAVA. I would have probably been a Knight years ago if those posts transferred.

When transferring posts from other sites, you can add more than 17k post to Gerds post count from the german www.LabVIEWForum.de (see: https://www.labviewforum.de/User-GerdW)

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, }
