Hi,
My name is Suryansh and I am using one of the ouster LIDAR sensor for my robot using ros. I am trying to configure the vertical FOV for the ouster sensor in ROS but havent been successful so far(found how to manipulate the horizontal FOV using azimuth_window), any tips on how to do that for the vertical FOV in ros?

Hi Suryansh, I don't think it is possible to manipulate the vertical field of view through the software, but feel free to contact our General Customer Support as they may be able to assist you further with such requests.

Thanks a lot for your help, I doubt the customer support could do much on an already procured ouster sensor. Thanks a lot for your help, hope you have great week ahead. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

@HadesReturns I have recently put a PR that reduces the vertical resolution of the #191. I understand that you want to reduce the upper and lower limits of the vertical FOV and not the resolution but following the same pattern shown in the PR you could reduce the FOV.
