Hi all !  
Simple question - is it possible to get sample data from OS1-Max in pcap format?  
As far as I can see there is no OS1-Max data in the [`docs page`](https://docs.ouster.com/sdk-docs/getting-started/download_data.html) (that has .pcap data) and there is no .pcap in sample data in [Ouster Studio](https://studio.ouster.com/drive/sample_library/public_collection?page=1) (that has OS1-Max data). Catch-22 or am I looking in the wrong place?  
Regards /A

Good point, we recorded these in OSF and should probably convert them and host the PCAPs as well. In the meantime, you can freely convert between OSF and PCAP with ouster-cli’s `save` command. CLI infers the file conversion from the file extensions (this also works for .BAG rosbag conversion).

1. first `pip install ouster-sdk`
2. The command `ouster-cli source OSF_FILE save converted.pcap`

This will also save a json file with the metadata needed to decode the pcap. Let me know if that works.

That worked, thanks!

Pushing the PCAP envelope a little bit and taking this thread a little off-topic, but do you have any example data with mixed PCAP, ie data from more than one sensor?
