Okay, here's how Helios works.

Helios takes several seconds to scan an object. Longer than if you were to just scan it yourself, and it's range is fairly limited. It will not scan objects beyond 15-20m. When an object flashes orange, that indicates that Helios is beginning to scan it.

Helios does NOT need line of sight to completely scan a target. In fact he can scan through solid walls provided the target is within it's scan range.

YOU MUST KEEP THAT TARGET -PHYSICALLY- IN FRONT OF YOUR TENNO. If your tenno turns, so will Helios, and it will interrupt the scan. It doesn't matter if you keep the camera and crosshairs facing them if your character turns away. If you need to move away from a target while it's being scanned, zoom in your aim while doing so to ensure you keep facing the same direction.
