Canon Analysis Device

The Canon Analysis Device, not to be confused with the Character Analysis Device, is a device primarily used to ascertain if a canon character is OOC, how much, or if there is a character replacement. It is well known for the loud BEEEEEEP it emits when a severely OOC canon is checked. It has also been used to size up situations. Too much OOC, however, has been known to destroy these devices; in fact, they are the most frequently-replaced items of all. In the Original Series, one of these was carried by Acacia Byrd.

There are several variants on the basic CAD, including:


 * The Combined CAD subset combines the functions of this and the Character Analysis Device.
 * The Heavy-Duty CAD is designed to detect up to 200% OOC, such as in Evil Twins. Newer models list the length of the pole required for such a character to touch canon.
 * In the mirror multiverse, EPC Agents use Control Analysis Devices.
