The quickest way to view the data collected as an image is to use the included Digital Sensor Recorder (DSR). DSR is Velodyne’s point-cloud
processing data viewer software. DSR reads in the packets from the sensor over Ethernet, performs the necessary calculations to determine
point locations and then plots the points in 3D on your PC monitor. You can observe both distance and intensity data through DSR. If you
have never used the sensor before, this is the recommended starting point. For more on installing and using DSR, see Appendix C.

Many users elect to develop their own application-specific point cloud tracking and plotting and/or storage scheme, which requires these
fundamental steps:
1. Establish communication with the sensor.
2. Create a calibration table either from the calibration data included in-stream from the sensor or from the included db.xml data file.
3. Parse the packets for rotation, block, distance and intensity data
4. Apply the calibration factors to the data.
5.
Plot or store the data as needed.
