range sensors just require a name, relativeTo and range parameters.

• name: This parameters sets the device name that will identify it.
• relativeTo: The name of the vehicle's link where the device is attached.
• range: Maximum distance of the range sensor. In case there is no object between the sensor and maximum distance the device will return maximum distance.
• visible: Activates or deactivates the debug line that shows the range sensor pose in the main view of UWSim.
• position: Initial position of the device with respect to the vehicle's link.
• orientation: Initial rotation of the device with respect to the vehicle's link, stated in RPY.
