The EnhanceScan general-purpose scanner is a multipurpose portable scanner that combined several individual sensors into one unit. It was manufactured by CryonCorp.
Description[]
The EnhanceScan was a multipurpose portable scanner manufactured by CryonCorp. It was an improved model of CryonCorp's Lifedetec bioscanner, adding several functions that had not been present in the previous design. The scanner had four different scanner modes; bioscanner, motion sensor, metal detector, and communications scanner. The EnhanceScan's screen displayed data relevant to the specific mode that the scanner was in at the time, and always showed specific locations and movement.[1]
The EnhanceScan incorporated a bioscanner module, capable of detecting life-forms at ranges up to 1,500 meters. Templates containing the data of over three hundred different creatures could be pre-loaded into the EnhanceScan, allowing the unit to identify life-forms by comparing its readings to the data stored in the memory banks. In this mode, the display screen would show the shape and vital statistics of any creature detected.[1]
An in-built motion sensor module detected any movement in a five hundred meter radius from the EnhanceScan. The unit could be set as a automated sentry, programmed to sound an alarm when it detected movement. A metal detector with a range of one hundred meters scanned for concentrations of metals and could be configured to search for specific ones.[1]
The communications scanner intercepted all comlink transmissions that were sent on standard frequencies within a range of three kilometers. The unit itself was incapable of transmitting messages.[1]
The EnhanceScan was powered by six rechargeable power cells which could provide enough energy for up to ten days of operation. The unit had dataports that allowed the EnhanceScan to be connected to computers, datapads, and droids for the exchanging of data.[1]
History[]
The EnhanceScan was favored by Alliance to Restore the Republic scouts, and was used on planets such as Hoth, Arbra, and Thila.
