You should see YDLIDAR's scan result in the console:

Lidar point data structure

data structure:

struct node_info {
	uint8_t    sync_flag;
	uint16_t   sync_quality;//!信号质量
	uint16_t   angle_q6_checkbit; //!测距点角度
	uint16_t   distance_q2; //! 当前测距点距离
	uint64_t   stamp; //! 时间戳
	uint8_t    scan_frequence;//! 特定版本此值才有效,无效值是0, 当前扫描频率current_frequence = scan_frequence/10.0
} __attribute__((packed)) ;

example:

if(data[i].scan_frequence != 0) {
	current_frequence = data[i].scan_frequence/10.0;
}

current_time_stamp = data[i].stamp;

 if(m_isMultipleRate) {
	current_distance = (float)data[i].distance_q2/2000.f;
}else {
	current_distance = (float)data[i].distance_q2/4000.f;
}

current_angle = ((data[i].angle_q6_checkbit>>LIDAR_RESP_MEASUREMENT_ANGLE_SHIFT)/64.0f);

current_intensity = (float)(data[i].sync_quality >> LIDAR_RESP_MEASUREMENT_QUALITY_SHIFT);

###note:current_frequence = data[0].scan_frequence/10.0.

###if the current_frequence value equals zero, it is an invalid value.

code:

    void ParseScan(node_info* data, const size_t& size) {

        double current_frequence, current_distance, current_angle, current_intensity;

        uint64_t current_time_stamp;

        for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++ ) {

            if( data[i].scan_frequence != 0) {

                current_frequence =  data[i].scan_frequence;//or current_frequence = data[0].scan_frequence

            }

	 if(m_isMultipleRate) {
		current_distance = (float)data[i].distance_q2/2000.f;
	}else {
		current_distance = (float)data[i].distance_q2/4000.f;
	}

            current_angle = ((data[i].angle_q6_checkbit>>LIDAR_RESP_MEASUREMENT_ANGLE_SHIFT)/64.0f);//LIDAR_RESP_MEASUREMENT_ANGLE_SHIFT equals 8

            current_intensity = (float)(data[i].sync_quality >> LIDAR_RESP_MEASUREMENT_QUALITY_SHIFT);

        }

        if (current_frequence != 0 ) {

            printf("current lidar scan frequency: %f\n", current_frequence);

        } else {

            printf("Current lidar does not support return scan frequency\n");

        }
    }
