Ranger

Ranger

Interface to a range sensing device. This includes laser scanners, arrays of sonar sensors and arrays of infra-red sensors. If the element count is 1, the device should be considered to consist of a single range sensor that returns many ranges at once (such as a laser scanner). If the element count is greater than one, the device should be considered an array of sensing elements, each of which returns a single range value.

Inputs

None.

Outputs

Port name Purpose Data
Ranges Range data with meta-information. RangeData
