■ Absolute Time of Point Cloud Data Packets
Definition
· Every time the lidar passes a fixed time Δt or azimuth interval Δα (see Section 4.2 Web Control – Trigger Method), it sends a command that
triggers a round of firing.
· A round of firing can have either one or more returns (specified in Section 4.2 Web Control – Return Mode). The measurements of each
return are stored in one block (see Section 3.1.2 UDP Data – Body).
· The absolute time of a Point Cloud Data Packet is the time when the lidar sends the command that triggers a round of firing that will be
stored in the last block.
This absolute time is output to the Date & Time field and the Timestamp field in Point Cloud Data Packets.
