 The flux image makes an initial first pass reading of the disk. This initial pass helps the Flux Imager get its bearing as to what's on the disk. While making the first pass the flux image counts the current track in the middle of the screen (shown as 3C in the image below, or 60 in decimal) and displays the elapsed time to read the disk on the left-hand side. The current track count is represented as a hexadecimal number. The below image shows the first pass as it's nearing completion. The flux image makes an initial first pass reading of the disk.
