/** This "software driver" implements the communication protocol for interfacing
*a SICK LMS100 laser scanners through an ethernet controller.
    *   This class does not need to be bind, i.e. you do not need to call
*C2DRangeFinderAbstract::bindIO.
    *   Connection is established when user call the turnOn() method. You can
*pass to the class's constructor the LMS100 's ip address and port.
    *   Device will be configured with the following parameters :
    * - Start Angle : -45 deg (imposed by hardware)
    * - Stop Angle : +225 deg (imposed by hardware)
    * - Apperture : 270 deg (imposed by hardware)
    * - Angular resolution : 0.25 deg
    * - Scan frequency : 25 Hz
    * - Max Range : 20m (imposed by hardware).
    *
    * <b>Important note:</b> SICK LMS 1xx devices have two levels of
*configuration. In its present implementation, this class only handles one of
*them, so
    *    <b>before using this class</b>, you must "pre-configure" your scanner
*with the SICK's software "SOAP" (this software ships with the device),
    *    and set the framerate with this software. Of course, you have to
*pre-configure the device just once, then save that configuration in its flash
*memory.
    *
    * To get a laser scan you must proceed like that :
    * \code
    *     CLMS200Eth laser(string("192.168.0.10"), 1234);
    *     laser.turnOn();
    *     bool isOutObs, hardwareError;
    *     CObservation2DRangeScan outObs;
    *     laser.doProcessSimple(isOutObs, outObs, hardwareError);
    * \endcode
    *
    * The sensor pose on the vehicle could be loaded from an ini configuration
*file with :
    *  \code
    *  PARAMETERS IN THE ".INI"-LIKE CONFIGURATION STRINGS:
    * -------------------------------------------------------
    *   [supplied_section_name]
    *     ip_address = 192.168.0.50 ;a string wich is the SICK's ip adress
*(default is 192.168.0.1)
    *   TCP_port = 1234         ; an integer value : the tcp ip port on wich the
*sick is listening (default is 2111).
    *   pose_x=0.21 ; Laser range scaner 3D position in the robot (meters)
    *   pose_y=0
    *   pose_z=0.34
    *   pose_yaw=0  ; Angles in degrees
    *   pose_pitch=0
    *   pose_roll=0
    *  \endcode
    * This class doesn't configure the SICK LMS sensor, it is recomended to
*configure the sensor via the
* the SICK software : SOPAS.
    * \note This class was contributed by Adrien Barral - Robopec (France)
* \ingroup mrpt_hwdrivers_grp
