It is a mini game that rewards you with more anomolies if you pass it before the time runs out. Anomolies are used to craft all sorts of gear, including the delta flyer shuttle (instead of buying it in the c-store), a combat horta, and the aegis ship gear set for instance.
The fact that I can successfully complete the minigame in under half the time allotted and still only get 1 data sample makes the entire "bonus" aspect suspect. You'd figure if you beat the minigame you should at least get two samples, right? I don't believe the minigame has as significant an effect on the samples we get as we think. A dev comment on what successfully completing the minigame does specifically would be really nice.

You'll never get any rare traces if you don't complete it, and sometimes no matter how good you search if there is only one thing there that is all you'll find. You don't need a dev comment, just decide to skip it and always get less, or play it and sometimes get more.

I know for a fact the highlighted part isn't true as I've gotten rare traces without doing the minigame. Try it sometime.
Completing the mini-game gives you a higher chance of getting a rare...nothing more...and not even that much of an increase....I couldn't tell you the percentage...but it's mediocre at best.
My problem with this is on scanning missions, when i hit the 5th and final one the mission text pops up, interfering or preventing me from finishing the scan.

in any case, all you have to do is click on the minigame window to bring it back up, if you can do it quickly, you still have enough time to match the waveform
I just started playing yesterday, so I know I'm a newbie, but this waveform modulation game is impossible. I don't see how anyone can change it fast enough to match the target, even with practice. I must be doing something wrong. This is just one complaint I have so far about this game. I just had my first ground mission and the controls where completely different than the tutorial. It's ridiculous you can't move and turn at the same time. Is there something or somewhere I can go or do to get a handle on this? The in game tutorial must be one of the worst I've seen for a game in a long time, I didn't even see anything about the waveform modulation.
It also really irritates me that a dialog during mission pops up and if I accidentally click it closes and I can't see what it said. The game seems to be designed so this is ridiculous easy to do.
Hey hey now!
BAD ZOMBIE BAD GO BACK TO THE GROUND!

And do the vertical first, sideways second method of alignment.
That's fixed in Season 4, I believe.
