Editing Scanning (section)

==Anatomy of the Probe Scanner window==
Before we can start scanning we need to know all the important elements of the Probe Scanner window (Figure 2).
# The LAUNCH button. This will launch 8 probes from your ship's probe launcher into space, ready for use. Your probe launcher will auto reload 8 more probes from your cargo if you have them (always carry 2 sets).
# The probe formation size slider. This will make your probes in space retain their formation but control how close/far apart they are.
# Probe formation selection. This will change their formation in space. The far-left option is a sane default if you're unsure.
# Solar System Map button. Once your probes are in space you'll want to hit this button so you can start adjusting them and get to scanning.
# The "ID" column. Each anomaly in space will get its own unique ID (or "sig") so you can tell them apart.
# Probe recovery. Once you've finished scanning you can hit this button and all of your active probes in the current system will instantly return to your ships cargo.
