UTD

The UTD (Universal Tricorder Device), sometimes referred to as a PFD*, is a small, hand-held device often carried by Carter on off-world missions, designed to take readings similar to those normally taken by the MALP or UAV. Different models have been used which are capable of taking a variety of environmental readings including light, temperature, atmospheric chemicals or pollution, radiation, energy signatures, electricity, temporal fluctuations, and radio or RDF transmissions. The "Wormhole X-treme!" production used a similar tricorder-like device called a quatra-scanner.
