Rotating Lidar with fixed number of sample

I want to create the rotating lidar model with fixed number of sample in one complete rotation. I have created a Velodyne rotating lidar given in this tutorial http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?cat=gu...

How can I control the number of sample in one complete rotation. The sensor I am trying to simulate produce 2048 sample in one rotation with 10 rotation per second. So a total of 20480 sample per second. Also I want to capture only certain FOV out of 360 degree. Currently I am calculating the "joint position" and saving only the the samples that falls within certain FOV. Is there any better way to do this?
