Controlling the simulation rate then recording point cloud?

I am having trouble when recording pointcloud from lidarscanners. Since the lidar is working at 10 hz we expect the publish rate at 10 hz but it is publishing at simulations rate. Is there any way to limit the simulation rate to have a maximum simulation rate or to keep it constant?

Hi @kristin4

Thank you for writing this post, but it still lacks some information. Can you explain your setup in more detail?

My aim to to create an enviorment, have cars move around and record it with a lidar sensor in the form of a point cloud. When redering with a camera, it can sometimes take a minute to render a 10 second clip because of how many moving elements it has. I would like to achieve the same result but with a point cloud.

However, when recording a pointcloud via the terminal, it records in realtime, aka creates a 1 miute recording of slow moving cars when I aim to create a 10 second recording with the cars moving at the set pace. I there a way to fix this so that the lidar pointcloud output is as acurate as a rendered camera output would be?
