A '''time sensor''' was a device which, according to [[Jo Grant]], "detect[ed] disturbances in the [[time field]]". It was most useful as a "[[TARDIS]] sniffer-outer", In particular, it was used by the [[Third Doctor]] to detect the presence of [[the Master's TARDIS]]. It was calibrated to provide distances to a disturbance in [[Venusian]] [[foot|feet]] and [[mile]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'')


A '''time sensor''', which [[Jo Grant]] called a '''"TARDIS sniffer-outer"''', was a device she explained that "detect[ed] disturbances in the [[time field]]". It was used by the [[Third Doctor]] to detect the presence of [[the Master's TARDIS]], calibrated to provide distances to a disturbance in [[Venusian]] [[foot|feet]] and [[mile]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'')
It measured [[Time distortion|temporal disturbances]] down to six decimal places on the [[Bocca Scale]]. The [[Sixth Doctor]] explained that, while he could use [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] to locate the Master's, it would require a [[regeneration]] to recalibrate the systems as [[the Master]] had altered his [[TARDIS]] so much that it bared little resemblance to the [[Type 40]].
