The scanner has four main controls: a filter selecter, a range slider, an angle slider, and a map. A large SCAN button initiates and refreshes the scan, and a display section lists the items that the scanner has found.

*Filter selecter (red arrow): a drop down menu lets you set a filter for the scanner results. The scanner finds everything that it can, but only displays the items indicated by the filter.

*Range slider(green arrow) and range input box: sets the distance that the scanner can see, from 0 to 14.3 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit AU]. The slider gives a set of widely used values: from .5 to 14.3 AU, with 14.3 being the farthest distance that the scanner can accomodate.

*Angle slider (yellow arrow): at its maximum, 360°, the scanner finds everything in a sphere centered on your ship. By reducing this value you can narrow the search to a cone that points out from the nose of your ship.
