Basically passive scanning is supposed to be a weaker but constant variation of active scanning, while active scanning is a more potent but inconstant variation of passive scanning. I like passive scanning because I like to scan with a weapon out, but CCP won't tell me how it works 
Look at the scan range and strength of your suit. These are base numbers and can be altered by your skills (though the "show info" only shows the unmodified numbers). If your range is 10 meters, then red dots will light up on your mini-map provided their scan profile is higher than your scan precision.
Skills that improve your scan precision will reduce this number. For example, if you have a 10% bonus and your precision is 50 base, your modified number would be 45. Anything with a scan profile that is 40.5 or higher will show up within 10 meters.
By the same token, your scan profile is reduced by your skills as well. So if you have a 10% bonus and your base profile is 45, thne your modified by skills # becomes 40.5. You won't show up on the above example's mini-map.
There are also skills to add to your radius - largest base radius is 10 meters (I think?); if you improve this by 10%, it goes to 11 meters.
Make sense? |

If we are self promoting - here is a description of active scanning. Passive works in the same way, with the execption of the fact that there is no shared vision (meaning flashing red on your squad) and you use passive numbers and skills modifications, instead of using the numbers of the module (which cannot be modified by skills). |

That's kinda common knowledge in Scoutland bro.
The way the post reads, that you don't know how passive scanners work, it doesn't appear to be. Just sayin' if it's common knowledge why ask the question? |
