  • Page 10: Output Orientation

    1.2.1 Output Orientation The DSP-3000 senses rotation on an axis perpendicular to the plane of the baseplate. An arrow on the product’s serial number label (located on the side of the unit) shows the rotational direction corresponding to a positive output. Looking at the gyro from overhead, a clockwise rotation will produce a positive output.

    The BIT signal operates independently of the other signals in the interface. The Clock rate is 3.072 MHz. The Serial Data and Frame Sync are stable when the clock signal’s rising edge occurs. The Data and Frame Sync change states when the clock signal’s falling edge occurs. The Frame Sync signal becomes active high for the duration of the data message.

  • Page 30: Wiring The Gyro For Analog Operation

    GROUND REFERENCE 5.2.1 Wiring Guidelines Wiring interfaces are critical in a gyro such as the DSP-3000, particularly for analog signals. Be sure to follow the guidelines below to ensure optimum performance. • The chassis ground, pin 3, as well as the housing, should be coupled to the system ground with minimum impedance.
  • Page 31 • Twisted-shielded-pair should be used to connect the gyro output to the user interface. The shield may be connected to analog ground at the gyro and signal ground in the user’s electronic interface. • Due to the low-level analog voltages from the gyro, cables longer than 12" (30 cm) to the user’s interface are not recommended without buffering.
