Key concepts
Scan — A file you upload. Each scan has its own viewer, filters, annotations, and report.
Channel — A single measurement series within a scan. Multi-sensor devices record several channels at once (e.g., one per sensor head).
Filter — A real-time adjustment applied to the data before it is displayed. Filters are saved per scan so your settings are always restored when you return.
Annotation — A named marker placed on a 1D or 2D view to flag a region of interest.
Grid / Map overlay — A color-coded interpolation of point data onto a regular map grid, used in the drone survey map view.
Palette — The color scheme applied to the grid or heatmap (Thermal, Viridis, Rainbow, Grayscale, etc.).
