Could not find the calibration/frame convention metadata for this DVL stream #1

Hi, thanks for releasing the DRACo-SLAM2 code and datasets. I am trying to reproduce and extend the replay pipeline using the public DRACO2 datasets.

I successfully decoded the DVL topic /rti/body_velocity/raw with message type rti_dvl/msg/DVL, which contains velocity.x/y/z, temperature, altitude, time, and header. However, I could not find the calibration/frame convention metadata for this DVL stream in the public repo or dataset.

Could you please clarify:

  1. What coordinate frame is /rti/body_velocity/raw expressed in?
  2. What are the axis directions and units of velocity.x/y/z?
  3. Is there a DVL-to-robot/base/sonar extrinsic transform available?
  4. Is there any known timestamp offset between DVL, IMU, sonar, and pose_true?
  5. Are bottom-lock/FOM/validity flags available in another DVL topic or message?

This would be very helpful for using DVL velocity as an independent factor in the DRACo pose graph. Thanks!
