Tech question

[kristen999]

I'm in the middle of a scene and need to know. Is there a set norm for the range of hand held life signs detectors?

I need them to be limited, but I don't want to step over canon if we've seen them spot life signs for a long range.

Is 50 to 100 meters too limited?

Thoughts?

EDIT

Answer is 100 meter range. :D

I actually looked this up once for a story and I seem to remember I arrived at 100 meters, but for the life of me I can't find notes or a source or anything. This was for use off-world and I seem to remember that was about top range. I wish I could put my fingers on the actual data though. Sorry.

eta: Ah, I see it must have been the wiki!

The answer is 100 meters! Updated my entry, but yeah, love those pesky details.

Thank you hon!!
