	While in visual mode, pressing the power button will project the visual path of the laser to be shot, including the paths of any scattered bolts if the path intercepts a research item plinth.

While in live mode, the visual path will not be visible and pressing the power button will instead fire a high energy laser projectile.

	Once a laser bolt intercepts a H.I.E.C.A panel, the research data will be automatically transferred to the projector, this data can be viewed in the "Current Research Data" section of the UI. Research data is in the form of progress towards an unresearched Techweb node. Once enough research data for a specific Techweb node is completed, the Techweb node will be researched. Operators of the laser projector have no control as to what nodes are researched. If need be, players can sacrifice research data and		Once a laser bolt intercepts a H.I.E.C.A panel, the research data will be automatically transferred to the projector, this data can be viewed in the "Current Research Data" section of the UI.

	Destroying material with high energy lasers does not come without its risks, disregarding the danger of a laser gun, the high energy collisions can sometimes cause run away anomalies to occur, known as resonance cascades. An unstable object will visually appear as any other high value item, upon placing it in the plinth and visualising the path, many scatter paths can be observed, here, you must be careful. While it very well be just a high value research item crew should be warned of the possibility of unstable objects. Upon being struck with a high energy laser shot, and unstable item will cause a resonance cascade, an explosive and anomalous event. A resonance cascade can result in structural damage or the materialisation of bizarre and abnormal creatures. An prospering scientist need be well aware of cascades and take care to avoid triggering one.
