Hello, First thank you for the driver, it's really helpful. I would like to know if is it possible to get informations about Fields for the TIM781 lidar in a ROS topic? I didn't find any informations about it. And I have a 2nd question about fields. I know there are many Set Fields and I would like to change this sets with a ROS pub for example. Is it possible to do it ?

Thank you in advance for your reply :D

Thanks for your friendly feedback.

The messages regarding the fields are published as ROS marker messages. You can find further information at https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_scan_xd/blob/master/doc/field_monitoring_extensions.md

The setting of the fields has to be done by SOPAS ET. Support for setting the fields by ROS is currently not planned. If ROS support for this feature is essential for your project, please contact the SICK support.
