ST tricorder clear up

[Aquaman]

ok can u guys clear it up for me....

the Mark IX and the Mark X tricorders.... what shows are they from officially?? I am all confused about which tric from what show! Thanks!

 

[silverskyes402]

They both were featured in later season of DS9 and Voyager only, TNG only made it upto MVII

 

[NakedMoleRat]

Actually if you count the TNG movies, then they were there too. Beginning with "Worst Contact" :lol

 

[Aquaman]

lol...ok so they were used y the TNg crew but only in the movies right?

 

[silverskyes402]

Yup, only the movies

What the hell is the difference between a Mark IX and an X?

Fred

So the bodies are the same, they just have different displays? Hardly seems worth the bother of relabeling them

I always thought that the IX was more of a medical tricorder and the X was a science tricorder.

 

[Aquaman]

the X also has the removable "scanner" in the back and different colored lights.

 

[glim999]

Aha! Thank you for that info

 

[SSgt Burton]

the X also has the removable "scanner" in the back and different colored lights.

Wouldn't that make it the medical version?

[darthgordon]

Yeah, the Mark X was a medical tricorder. It had a removable scanner and the display screen showed a person on it.

The Mark IX was a science tricorder that had the light up graph graphics.

I believe the Mark IX was introduced in First Contact, and then like the uniforms made it's way into the last seasons of DS9.

The funny thing was that Voyager went to the Delta Quadrant using the Mark VII's and miraculously they turned into IX and X's with no contact with Starfleet.

 

[silverskyes402]

Yea, same with the phasers, they started with the cobrhead's and ended with the boomerangs, the only thing thats wasent upgraded were the uniforms

[Aquaman]

hmmm funny how that happens on TV shows!

 

[Treadwell]

so there never was a Mk VIII?

 

[Aquaman]

hmmm don't know if it went past a mark X????

I love tricorders!!!! All those blinky lights!

 

[darthgordon]

As far as I know... there was no VIII... although, there was an unusual one used by Dax in "Blood Oath." That may have been a VIII... I don't think I've ever seen any close ups of it though. It had a larger display screen.

They went to Mark XI for Nemesis... it wasn't the most impressive looking prop.

 

[WinstonWolf359]

There was also the Mark XV "29th century tricorder" used in Voyager.

Technological innovations must have been few and far between in the 500 or so years between Nemesis and the 29th century for there to have only been four more updates in tricorder design. :rolleyes
