I have a Omron OS32C laser scanner with me. The corresponding node publishes only scan data and no /tf data.

I have constructed a tf tree from map-> base_laser -> laser. I have put map as fixed frame and target frame as base_laser in Rviz.

But, how do I tell Rviz that laser scan readings are in laser frame? Is there a option for that in Rviz settings?

the scan is LaserScan msg which has the header/frame_id to specify the frame.
