Resource Scanner Mechanics

I've logged about 10 hours in the Early Access so far and I've been enjoying everything about it, but I can't seem to figure out the "Resource Scanner" popup that occurs when your ship comes to a stop. It counted 5 when I entered Alcyone Station, but after mining a few crystal nodes, the number didn't change at all. How does this work, and does it give a directional indicator as to where the resources are?
