syntax of a srv file

edit

Hi I am trying to write a service that uses the data that the drc robot is publishing on the imu topic. if i write rostopic type /imu | rosmsg show , I get -

std_msgs/Header header
  uint32 seq
  time stamp
  string frame_id
geometry_msgs/Quaternion orientation
  float64 x
  float64 y
  float64 z
  float64 w
float64[9] orientation_covariance
geometry_msgs/Vector3 angular_velocity
  float64 x
  float64 y
  float64 z
float64[9] angular_velocity_covariance
geometry_msgs/Vector3 linear_acceleration
  float64 x
  float64 y
  float64 z
float64[9] linear_acceleration_covariance

I tried this-

sensor_msgs/Imu imu
---
float64 ubx
float64 mby

the package compiled but the server isn't working. the files are Server

#!/usr/bin/env python

the srv file is ImuAng.srv

float64 mby

the error I am getting is

[ERROR] [WallTime: 1357222067.922667] [4099.311000] Error processing request: 'ImuAngRequest' object has no attribute 'header'

Traceback (most recent call last):

    ns.new_time_nsec=req.header.stamp.nsecs

what is the right syntax?( I only need the time and angular velocity)

Thanks
