#### Record and replay ROS 2 messages in Vulcanexus.

The Record & Replay application distributed in Vulcanexus is an end-user software application that efficiently saves DDS data published in a DDS environment into an MCAP format database. Thus, the exact playback of the recorded network events is possible as the data is linked to the timestamp at which the original data was published. The Record & Replay is easily configurable and installed with a default setup, so that DDS topics, data types and entities are automatically discovered without specifying the types of data recorded. This is because the recording tool exploits the DynamicTypes functionality of eProsima Fast DDS.
