# Recording Data

Before continuing with this section, please make sure you followed the steps in the previous section [Preparing the System](/rover/hardware/navbox/scout/preparing-the-system.md).

After power has been supplied to the unit and the boot process is complete, data recording can be started. To do so, our Phoenix LiDAR **Spatial Explorer** software can be used to connect to the NavBox to start the data recording or to adjust any mapping parameters. Real-time data acquisition is also possible by connecting via Spatial Explorer. For more information on how to connect to the SCOUT NavBox via Spatial Explorer, please refer to section [Connect to Rover](broken://pages/-LTPE4QlXV8olF3MB7s2).
