The tricorder is the primary sensor instrument of Starfleet. It also has database and communications abilities. Tricorders are issued to all senior officers and away team members. They are also located in various storage areas on Starships.

Current Models

TR-600 Tricorder

Starfleet's current standard issue tricorder is the TR-600 Tricorder. Unlike earlier models , the standard TR-600 tricorder can handle both standard tricorder and medical tricorder functions, eliminating the need for separate devices. It also has a larger touchscreen interface, similar to a PADD, to provide users with more versatility. This new form factor has led to some officers referring to the TR-600 as a triPADD.

TR-590 Mark XI Tricorder

The previous model, the TR-590 Mark XI Tricorder, is currently still authorized for use but is gradually being phased out.
