a way of performing multiple probes using an automated tool
A scan is simply a large number of probes done using an automated tool. Scans can sometimes be the result of a misconfiguration or other error, but they are often a prelude to a more directed attack on systems that the intruder has found to be vulnerable. (From http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/tocencyc.html#Scan)
A method for disclosing leaks in filter units in which the probe nozzle of an aerosol photometer is held approximately one inch from the area to be tested and moved at a rate of not more than 10 ft/min (3 m/min) across the test area. Also known as probing.
What the computer does when you first turn on the power switch. It starts looking scanning the slots for a disk drive controller card. It looks first at slot 7 or the corresponding port; if it doesn't find a startup device there, it proceeds to the next-highest-numbered slot until it finds a startup device.
a general term for a variety of tests that "scan" or survey a part of the body, usually done in the radiology department. A lung scan is done to look for pulmonary emboli.

A sequential search for the binary signatures (patterns) of known viruses that have attached themselves to executable programs on your computer as well as trojans and spyware. Anti-virus and anti-spyware scans look through your files and databases to search for malware.
A virus scan searches through the files on your computer for infected files. It will return the results to you and either automatically decontaminate the infected files or give you advice on what to do next.

A set of observations with a common goal, for example, a pointing scan, a focus scan, or atmospheric amplitude calibrations scan.
a trace where a color or gray scale has been applied to the amplitude values
Many modules, especially logic engines, work in a cycle. One repeat is called a scan. It begins by obtaining a copy of all the points from the MatPLC core. It then evaluates all the logic or does all the calculations (depending on the module). Finally, all changed points are written back to the MatPLC core - this only happens at the end of the scan, so if the logic wrote a point several times with different values, only the last value is ever seen by any other module.
a bitmap, not vector artwork
To digitize a slide, a photograph, or other artwork on a scanner using scanning software so that it can be displayed and edited on a computer.
The process of requesting information and receiving it. When applied to RTU communications, it is the whole process of requesting input signal data (eg status, analogs, and accumulators) from a RTU and receiving a reply.
