I am new to ROS and am using a sick TIM 561 scanner with a USB on a linux system. While launching the scanner using

$ roslaunch sick_tim sick_tim551_2050001.launch

it is throwing an exception (screenshot attached). Please help me with the same.

You probably have the parameter use_sim_time set to true. To fix this, run:

rosparam set use_sim_time false

... and then restart the launch file.

I've added a commit that should avoid the runtime error and print a more helpful warning.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. It worked perfectly.
