# Scanning

Once all markers are set (and the scan settings are defined properly) the current cursor position in local and in plot coordinates are continuously displayed in the Coordinate Display window. They are, however, not recorded. This section explains how to record the data with and without errors and how to deal with tilted plots. Note, thet the instructions on what step to perform next are given in the status bar (bottom of the xyscan window). Follow them and you cannot go wrong.
