Pulse wave xeno scanner operation

I know how the thing works, but I can't remember if you can assign a hotkey. Is it the same key as the shutdown field neutraliser? I have it at the back of my mind from last time I played that it is, but my memory plays tricks on me.

I’m fairly certain you have to assign it to a trigger group, as with any other active scanner.

That is correct. It is a modification of the equivalent scanner used for core mining. (Both practically and per in-game lore.) You set it to a fire group and then use a fire button, in analysis mode, to activate it.

It also functions as a normal xeno scanner, and you can bind that as well. (For example, to scan interceptors and make hearts targetable.) Unfortunately, it is only a xeno scanner, not an enhanced xeno scanner, so that is not a particularly useful feature. The reason I am mentioning this is because you'll see both functions available to bind to a fire group, and it is important to keep them straight.

Thank you. That's really helpful. I forgot that it works in analysis mode. That makes things much easier.
