 The differences between this input file and the one from the A-scan are the x coordinates of the source and receiver (lines 11 and 12), and the commands needed to move the source and receiver (lines 13 and 14). As before, the source and receiver are offset by 40mm from each other as before but they are now shifted to a starting position for the scan. The ``#src_steps`` command is used to move every source in the model by specified steps each time the model is run. Similarly, the ``#rx_steps`` command is used to move every receiver in the model by specified steps each time the model is run. Note, the same functionality can be achieved by using our Python API to move the source and receiver individually (see the :ref:`Python API <input-api>` section).

 This section provides answers to frequently asked questions about gprMax and its uses. You should also check out our `YouTube channel <https://www.youtube.com/@Gprmax>`_ which contains screencasts and videos that explain how to install gprMax, demonstrate some of its key features, and give example models showing applications.
 
 **What applications can gprMax simulate?**
-gprMax is electromagnetic wave simulation software that is based on the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. Many of its features have been designed to benefit simulating Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), however it can be used to simulate many other applications in areas such as engineering, geophysics, archaeology, and medicine.

Many of its features have been designed to benefit simulating Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), however, it can be used to simulate many other applications in areas such as engineering, geophysics, archaeology, and medicine.
 
 **Why does gprMax not have a GUI?**
 We considered developing a CAD-based graphical user interface (GUI) but, for now, decided against it. There were two guiding principals behind this design decision: firstly, users most often perform a series of related simulations with varying parameters to solve or optimize a particular problem; and secondly, we decided the limited resources we had were best concentrated on developing advanced modelling features for GPR within software that could easily be interfaced with other tools. Although a CAD-based GUI is useful for creating single simulations it becomes increasingly cumbersome for a series of simulations or where simulations contain heterogeneities, e.g. a model of a soil with stochastically varying electrical properties.

 **Where does the name gprMax come from?**
-The name gprMax comes from the joining of the acroymn for Ground Penetrating Radar - **gpr** - and the name of the Scottish scientist who formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, `James Clerk Maxwell <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clerk_Maxwell>`_ - **Max**.

 **How do I choose a spatial resolution for my simulation?**
 Spatial resolution should be chosen to mitigate numerical dispersion and to adequately resolve geometry in your simulation. :ref:`A 2D example of modelling a metal cylinder in a dielectric <example-2D-Ascan>` provides guidance on how to determine spatial resolution.
