Scanners (or multi-scanners, or Auspexes) are Imperial short-ranged devices used to detect motion, invisible gases and energy emissions throughout a wide spectrum, such as heat, radiation and most forms of energy given off by vehicles and living troops.
扫描仪(或多谱扫描仪,或鸟卜仪)是帝国短程设备,用于检测整个光谱范围内的运动、不可见气体和能量排放,如热量、辐射以及车辆和活体部队释放的大多数形式的能量。

Their main tactical use is to reveal otherwise hidden troops and allow them to be fired on. The standard range of a handheld scanner is fifty, five hundred, or fifteen hundred metres, although walls more than fifty centimetres thick as well as certain shielding materials are able to block them. Longer-range, bulky, auspexes have, depending on craftmanship, a range of five or ten kilometres and can penetrate walls up to a metre thick. Ground vehicle-mounted auspexes can have a range of fifty kilometres. Aircraft-mounted auspexes can have a range of a hundred kilometres.
手持扫描仪的标准射程为50米、500米或1500米,尽管厚度超过50厘米的墙壁和某些屏蔽材料能够阻挡它们。根据工艺的不同,射程更远、体积更大的鸟卜仪的射程可达五到十公里,可以穿透一米厚的墙壁。地面车载鸟卜仪的射程可达50公里。机载鸟卜仪的射程可达一百公里。
Auspexes mounted on spaceships can easily scan the orbit and surface of a planet from the edge of a system at the Mandeville point, the collected data visually represented with the help of a hololithic projector or pict screens, after being processed by cogitators and mono-task servitors.
安装在太空舰船上的鸟卜仪可以很容易地从星系边缘的曼德维尔点扫描行星的轨道和表面,收集到的数据在经过沉思者和单线程机仆处理后,在全息投影仪或图片屏幕的帮助下进行视觉表示。
Scanners can take the form of separate hand-held viewscreen devices, or they may be built into a helmet such as in the case of Terminator armour. The Imperial Guard uses scanners known as surveyors. Space Marines and other forces use the auspex.
扫描仪可以采用单独的手持视屏设备的形式,也可以内置在头盔中,如终结者盔甲。帝国卫队使用被称为勘测者的扫描仪。星际战士和其他部队使用鸟卜者。
Augury Scanner 占卜扫描仪
This energy scanning device has the effect of alerting the user to the concealed presence or imminent arrival of enemy troops in the vicinity.
这种能量扫描装置具有提醒使用者附近隐藏的敌军存在或即将到来的效果。

Noospheric Interlopers - Used by Vanus Assassins.
认知干涉 - 被瓦努斯刺客使用。
Energy Scanner 能量扫描仪
This type of scanner detects energy emissions indicating the position of vehicles, robots, functioning equipment, weapons, etc. It would not detect ordinary life functions, but psychic activity will detected as an extremely hard reading. However radiation sources will not show up as distinct from other energy emissions.
这种类型的扫描仪检测能量排放,指示车辆、机器人、功能设备、武器等的位置。它不会检测到普通的生命机能,但精神活动会被检测为一种极其困难的读数。然而,辐射源不会与其他能源排放区别开来。
Known Patterns 已知型号
Divinator Class - Used by Incursor Space Marines
占卜师级 - 由星际战士入侵者使用
Lodestar Class - Used by Phobos Strike Teams. This ancient and little-seen model provides exceptional strategic inloads, almost the equal of having a spaceship scanning the region from on high.
北极星级 - 福波斯突击小队使用。这个古老而鲜为人知的设计提供了卓越的战略性嵌入,几乎相当于让一艘太空舰船从高处扫描该地区。
