Exploration, DSS

So I’ve taken up exploration. Using an Asp x outfitted for the task. Couple questions,

So the I’m using a road to riches list. When I fly into a new system I do a discovery scan then use the FSS to find all the High metal content and earthlike worlds.
But is that it? I have the DSS but how does it work? I can’t asign a firefroup for it. Does it work automatically or do I need to fly within a certain distance to a target planet and then start shooting probes at it?
Can someone please explain this to me.

Earlier in about 1.5 hours I made over 4 million but if I can make more I’m all ears

Thanks

1st, unlike FSS, you need to buy and equip DSS(Detailed Surface Scanner, or just Surface scanner at shop menu) to your ship, under "Optional Internal"
2nd, Assign it to firegroup, to open up DSS menu
3rd, to setting > key setting (whatever you call at PS4)
you need to assign some key under DSS section, this button are use in DSS menu only, so it's okay to assign same button you use when flying.
you use the same key you assigned at firegroup to open DSS menu and fire probe, but required extra key to see the back of the body, or close DSS menu.
Try it.

PS: FSS and DSS an single earthlike planet, give you 1M crerdit.

I figured it out. For some reason when I got the DSS last night it wasn’t showing up in my firegroups menu at all. But after logging out and back in again this morning it’s there and works fine.
I just wonder how much cash I’ve missed out on by not probing all those places I’ve explored lol
 
Extra.. The DSS is engineerable, if you want an easier time to get the efficiency credit bonus, for using less probes, you can go visit some engineers...
