# Scatter Field

| Parameter        | Type             | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ---------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Valid Slots      | Decimal (Meters) | The number of points that fit within the scatter field.                                                                                                                                                    |
| Dimensions       | Decimal          | The measurable distance in the X, Y, and Z direction in meters.                                                                                                                                            |
| Radius           | Decimal          | The distance from the center to the perimeter of the scatter field.                                                                                                                                        |
| Placement Method |                  | <p>A pseudo-random placement methodology that provides a fairly even distribution of points in the given space.</p><p>Poisson 2D - Fit to a 2D Y/X space.<br><br>Poisson 3D - Fit to a 3D X/Y/Z space.</p> |
| Ransom Seeding   | Decimal          | Points randomly generated to ensure variability. Initialization value for the pseudo-random solution ensures replication will still provide variability.                                                   |
