This is simply the most advanced representation of the TR-590 Mark X Tricorder; it is the brain child of David Christian (USS Endeav) who sought to create a highly interactive tricorder for the best possible cosplay experience. A very cool prop that I am proud to have in my collection. It was built in early 2011.The details:
- A diagnostic self-test and voltage calibration on startup.- Full color LCD video main display & 36 video sequences- 2 modes and 3 sub-modes; timed two-level automatic sleep mode, allowing the prop to be displayed open.- 4 concealed switches (different functions depending on active/simulation modes)- Able to increase and decrease LED sequence speeds- Scanning light change depending on what scan is active: medical blue or science red.- EMRG key activates a Red Alert (active mode) or an incoming Starfleet message from Major Kira Nerys regarding a Breen attack (simulation mode).- LIBRARY button, attempting to access the Federation database, results in an interaction with the LCARS computer (active mode) or a random loop of scan sounds (simulation mode).- Gyro sensor (activates special flatline medical sequence when certain motions are detected)- Rechargable lithium ion battery with power protection circuitry.- LCD Charger displaying charge status, a percentage indicator and an estimated completion time.- Opening and closing ratchet sound.- Vacuform tricorder body with HVLP paint and clearcoat.- Rear pouch/slot for a removable hand scanner.
