### Direction Technique areas

The Direction 1 Tech and Direction 2 Tech areas, let you select direction techniques that determine how the scan will take its hits. Most scans only scan in one row or line, so, they only have one set of direction techniques in the Direction 1 Tech list.

Patch scans are unique in that they scan over an area and so have additional rows of points and use a second set of direction techniques in the Direction 2 Tech list. In the Direction 2 Tech list, the selected technique determines the incremental technique that will be applied between rows.

Select the desired technique and PC-DMIS will automatically display the Max / Min or Increment boxes.
