LMS1xx node outputs curved laser scan data

I am trying to use the lms1xx ROS driver in kinetic which I installed using:> sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-lms1xx I am starting the LMS1xx_node using: > rosrun lms1xx LMS1xx_node The sensor connects fine and I get laser data streaming into the /scan topic, however when I visualize, it looks like there are strange curves in the data (when it is obviously sensing a straight wall). This is not the case when I start the evaluation visualizer using the SOPAS Engineering Tool, where I see a nice straight scan output from the sensor. This makes me think there is a strange configuration in the ROS node that I can not seem to figure out. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
