When used on technology, the sonic screwdriver would determine a device's function, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'') how advanced it was, ([[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]'') the nature of their controls ([[TV]]: ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]])'' and if they were connected to other devices. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') The Doctor would also use it to scan for information on computers and database systems. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') In conjunction with a satellite dish, the Eleventh Doctor once used the sonic screwdriver to locate his TARDIS.

The sonic screwdriver could also detect heat signatures, ([[TV]]: ''[[Cold Blood (TV story)|Cold Blood]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dreaming (short story)|The Dreaming]]'') magnetic fields, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Dalek Project (comic story)|The Dalek Project]]'') electrical interference and chemical emissions within an area.

The sonic screwdriver was also used to run calculations, such as when [[Skovox Blitzer]] would rematerialize. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') It could also run these as a subroutine, though the Doctor could check their progress.

This new model had a very mechanical and complicated-looking, TARDIS blue, metal handle with multiple emitters, once again resembling the inner structure of the [[time rotor]] itself. The emitter was once again blue in colour, and the ring of emitters could all light up in a circling motion when activated. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') He continued to use his sonic sunglasses as well, thus giving him two choices of sonic instruments.
