The angle slider bar sets the scan angle to preset values between 5 and 360 degrees. Together, the angle and range define a cone shaped scan area that comes out of the front of your ship.

At angles less than 360°, the scanner orients to the camera view of the system that you have in space. So, to point the scanner in a particular direction, click and drag ''in space'' (not in the scanner map). If you have the scanner map open, you can see the scanner move around as you drag your mouse. (At 360°, of course, the "cone" is a sphere, and while it may move, you won't see anything happen.) | At angles less than 360°, the scanner orients to the camera view of the system that you have in space.
