Translinear sensor

Translinear sensors were a form of sensor technology in use during the 22nd century.

In 2151, the Vahklas, a Vulcan civilian transport ship, was equipped with translinear sensors. Tavin, the commanding officer of the Vahklas, offered to use his ship's translinear sensors to assist in a survey of the Arachnid Nebula by the Earth starship Enterprise. Using the sensors, they were able to shorten the Enterprise's analysis of the nebula from several weeks to several days.
