Here is an output when we listened /os1_cloud_node/points topic:

I'm sorry to have to do this for something so seemingly unimportant, but please don't post screenshots of terminal text in question on ROS Answers. It's all text, so there is no need. Just copy-paste the text from the terminal into your question text. Do make sure to format it properly by selecting the text and pressing ctrl+k (or clicking the Preformatted Text button (the one with 101010 on it)).

You don't need to post a new question, just edit your curent one. You can use the edit button/link for this.

After you replace the screenshot with the error message itself, we can re-open your question.

We can see that the topic for /os1_cloud_node/points uses a message of type sensor_msgs/PointCloud2, which also contains a msg of type sensor_msgs/PointField. After looking at the definitions, it seems like we would need more information about the code you are using. Could you provide a link to the ROS package(s) you are using to get the LIDAR data into ROS ?
