Range Finder

A simple and very easy to use range finder script that will give details such as distance, speed, size and the GPS location on ships and grids from a distance.

Features:
- The script has two modes 'scan' and 'auto scan'. The first will only scan when you push a button, the second will constantly scan.
- Supports regular LCDs and LCD's found in other blocks such as cockpits.
- Uses a template system for ease of use.

Current Version: 2

User Guide:
1. Load the program into the Program Block by clicking Edit and then click Browse Scripts and search for it.
2. Open up the 'Custom Data' property of the Program Block.
3. Fill in the missing data for each field.
3.1 <<SCREENS>> holds the names of any valid LCD screens or Display surfaces such as those in the cockpit.
3.1.1 To use a display that is not an LCD but part of another block such as in a cockpit use the formula:
"CockpitName::ScreenNumber"
Example: "Cockpit Main::2
This will look for a block called Cockpit and try and find the second screen (The screens go from left to right).
