A scanner is a generic term referring to a hand-held sensory device. Scanners were common during the mid-22nd century and used by a variety of space-faring cultures and institutions such as Starfleet, the Earth Sciences Institute, Ferengi privateers, the Suliban Cabal, and the Vulcan High Command.
Scanners were the presumed precursors to the tricorder of the 23rd and 24th centuries.
A small brown, angular scanning device was utilized by citizens of the Ferengi Alliance or Ferengi privateers as early as 2151.
Characterized by a large, green, illuminated interface and display, this Ferengi scanner was capable of scanning through bulkheads and was key in the search for loot. (ENT: "Acquisition")
