How do I do this? I know that the 1 in a circle binds to right trigger and the 2 in the blue circle binds to left trigger but how do I change fire groups? I want to be able to have a group with weapons and another for scanners. It seems that unlike the discovery scanner, the kill warrant and cargo scanner don't activate automatically or contextually.
Changing Fire Groups

Great question!
I tried the the exact same thing - mapping a scanner and my mining laser to a second fire group, but I could never figure out which button changed between the fire groups.

If you have weapons on fire group one and scanners on fire group 2, you can switch between them By holding X and tapping RB. You'll obviously need to configure the fire groups on your right hand monitor before hand 
This will allow your weapons to be deployed independently from your scanners/ other equipment and vice versa

Pretty sure you hold X to bring up the radial menu and use the bumpers to change fire groups
Yeah the answer i've been looking for, now i might stop wasting heat sinks 8))
You can actually switch hard points without deploying them, just hit the "A" buttons and you see the hard point names change in your reticle.
The default scanner only shows bounties issued by the controlling faction in the system you are in, so you can use the kill warrant scanner to see if they have any bounties put on them by other factions. It is really useful for bounty hunting in anarchy systems.
Thank you so much Sawbo!
From my experience using the Kill warrant scanner gives you a bigger reward in CC then without it. It is definitely worth the slot space in my opinion.
Wow. That's one hell of a necro... O_O
I've reconfigured my controller enough the only thing that may still be the same is holding x and pressing either rb or lb depending on how many fire groups you have. You don't have to wait for the radial menu, you just need to hold x for a second or two (waiting is hard in a fire fight). If your looking for chaff and heat sink you can bind those to different controls in the options menu and not have to switch fire groups to use them.
It might be a bit of a necro post but it's bloody useful. I'd just googled it and this thread came up. Bonus!

Multi necro!
Check your bindings, yours might be different. The default controller bindings might have changed slightly since 2015.

RB is right bumper. You can switch between fire groups (if multiple fire groups have been set up) by holding X and tapping left bumper or right bumper. That's what the default binding is anyway (unless, as Godnamedthor has suggested, those defaults have changed since the olden days)
Holy moly, here be wizzy wiz wizards!
