How to Synchronize LMS4000 Motors in ROS2?

[asokolowski-it]

Context:

I am using the sick_scan_xd ROS2* to read data from two LMS4000 LIDARs. When using the SOPAS ET application provided by SICK, it is possible to configure motor synchronization between two LMS4000 devices, setting one as a master and the other as a slave to ensure they are synchronized.

However, when using sick_scan_xd ROS2, I cannot find an option to configure this. There is no parameter or ROS2 topic that allows configuring one LIDAR as a master and the other as a slave.

Question:

1. Is there an existing way to synchronize the motors of two LMS4000 devices within the sick_scan_xd ROS2 package?
2. If not, is this feature planned for future updates?
3. Are there any workarounds or recommendations on how to achieve motor synchronization between two LMS4000 sensors in ROS2?

Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
