* Scan results: a list of items found by the scanner. Choosing different filters from the drop-down menu will change what is shown in this list.

Pressing the big, square SCAN button will initiate a scan. It then takes two seconds for the scanner to reset, after which you can press the button to scan again. Because frequent re-scanning is necessary in certain situations, EVE includes a "d-scan spammer" hot key. The key is named "Refresh Directional ~~Scanner~~", and you can find it in the "Combat" section under "Shortcuts" in the game ~~settings~~ window. Pressing ~~this~~ key opens the d-scan if it is not already open, and refreshes the scan if it is. This hotkey is off by default.

Pressing the Refresh Directional Scan key opens the d-scan if it is not already open, and refreshes the scan if it is. This hotkey is off by default.

Once you have initiated a scan, changing the scanner's filter will immediately update the results list to accomodate the new filter. However, this uses the data from the previous scan, and so may be inaccurate. To update the list, just press SCAN again. Changing either the range or angle will cause a fresh scan to be run automatically, using the new settings.
