A gravimetric scanner was a piece of technology which could be used to predict the outcome of dabo games. In 2373, Constable Odo, while stuck in his monoform shape, saw a pair of Yridians using a gravimetric scanner to cheat in Quark's.

The constable was humiliated, despite Captain Sisko's supportive attitude. (DS9: "Nor the Battle to the Strong")
