Lidar data time stamps? #21

Open yasmeenel3sh opened 5 years ago

Does the rospackage record the timestamps from the lidar internal clock ,or from the system time?If from the system time, how can I make the data timestamps from the lidar internal clock.

This can be done by getting PPS signal from GPS receiver. RS16 supports GPS connection for timing but I never tested it. Can folks from Robosense give suggestions/Document on Connecting GPS for time sync? If connected, Does Current package support such GPS sync?
