The data sheet (https://www.robotshop.com/media/files/pdf2/pli-06-instruction.pdf) for the LIDAR Lite v3 mentions under Performance that the repetition rate is ~50 Hz default and 500 Hz max, and the update rate is 270 Hz typical, 650 Hz fast mode and >1000 Hz short range only. I always thought repetition rate and update rate are the same and are interchangeable terms. Can anyone please explain what the difference between them is?
I’m also not sure what the default pulse rate (i.e. how many pulses transmitted per second) is for this LIDAR. Is it 256 pulses per second?
Thanks!
