That has to have driven some software guys crazy programming it. Big enough task to set it up staring straigh, now they have to have another set of commands for when scanned to the side.

I imagine they have some astoundingly tight control of the tilt mechanism to maintain accuracy. It probably just hums all the time it is so tight.
