# this message contains the (relative) timestamps of the sensor inputs used by EKF2.
# It can be used for reproducible replay.
# the timestamp field is the ekf2 reference time and matches the timestamp of
# the sensor_combined topic.
uint64 timestamp # time since system start (microseconds)
int16 RELATIVE_TIMESTAMP_INVALID = 32767 # (0x7fff) If one of the relative timestamps
# is set to this value, it means the associated sensor values did not update
# timestamps are relative to the main timestamp and are in 0.1 ms (timestamp +
# *_timestamp_rel = absolute timestamp). For int16, this allows a maximum
# difference of +-3.2s to the sensor_combined topic.
