My tf_monitor gives me the output as below<br>
Node: /amcl 10.0502 Hz, Average Delay: -0.0153442 Max Delay: 0.145252
<==<br>
which is in negative<br>
Node: /eskorta_odom 22.022 Hz, Average Delay: 0.000921226 Max Delay:<br>
0.0214084<br>
Node: /eskorta_state 30.0514 Hz, Average Delay: 0.0180185 Max Delay:<br>
0.0565425<br>
Is it fine to have negative delay? - i am not able to figure it out
since<br>
this is my pre-hardware testing.<br>

I'm not sure why the average delay would be negative. I'll let someone

I have added to the tf FAQ the answer to this question at
