===Range===

The range control includes a text box, a units label button and a slider. The slider the most frequent way of changing the range. It has a maximum of approximately 14.355 AU ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit Astronomical Unit]), or ~~about 150 million km~~. It slides to ranges of 10, 5, 1 and 0.1 AUs. Since directional scanning is not all that precise in any case, these settings usually are sufficient.

It has a maximum of approximately 14.355 AU ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit Astronomical Unit]), or approximately 22.2 billion kilometers. It slides to ranges of 10, 5, 1 and 0.1 AUs. Since directional scanning is not all that precise in any case, these settings usually are sufficient; but if you wish, you can type a specific scan range into the box for any distance up to the maxium.

~~If you wish, you can type a specific scan range into the box for any distance up to the maxium.~~ If you click on the AU label button, it will change to KM and adjust the ~~number~~ accordingly.

If you click on the AU label button, it will change to KM and adjust the value of the range accordingly.

Changing the range will immediately update the red representaion of the scan area on the d-scan map.

Changing the range will immediately update the scan results list, and also the red representaion of the scan area on the d-scan map.
