Ordering Guide
Measurement Specialties offers a complete line of instrumentation grade Rate Gyros. An especially rugged and accurate uniaxial model
is now available in a low rate (±50, ±180, ±300 and ±600°/sec) version, and triaxial models are available in both high rate (±1000 and
±1200°/sec) and low rate (±50, ±150, ±300 and ±600°/sec) versions. Measurement Specialties’ rate gyros are built to customer
specifications so you can get the exact configuration required for your measurements.
The 11206AC uniaxial model is one of the most accurate angular rate gyros available for use in demanding temperature environments,

*Technical Data subject to change without notice
The GY407D is the first rate gyro to support SCPI-like commands, return data in engineering units, and work
with an ASCII terminal emulator. It also performs basic functions such as evaluating minimum, maximum, magnitude, and peak-to-peak. The output is configurable by the customer - choose number of axes, units returned,
bandwidth, sample rates, function specifics, and analysis results.
The sensor also contains a temperature sensor, microcontroller, and analog outputs in a small, easy-to-install
package. The microcontroller takes 10-bit samples and performs temperature compensation and additional functions as programmed for output via the RS-485 interface.

GY407D Functions
Configure GY407D’s built-in functions to execute as needed. Each unique function is performed on the scan measurements, with results maintained internally within the sensor.
MIN – tracks the minimum reading on each channel since the function was configured
MAX – tracks the maximum reading on each channel since the function was configured
MAG – calculates the magnitude of the vector sum of axes G1, G2 and G3
PTP – tracks the peak-to-peak value for each channel since the function was configured. This is equal to MAX – MIN for
each channel
TH1 – tracks channels readings against individual channel threshold values
TH2 – tracks MAG or TLT values against a threshold
OU1/OU2/OU3 – output functions that print the values of functions on a configurable periodic basis
When the GY407D threshold function is set, external controls can be triggered when the threshold is reached. Receive a
warning, flip a switch, apply a brake - take action immediately when limits are exceeded.

31207B
Triaxial Rate Gyro
±1000, ±1200°/sec Range
< ±6°/sec Offset Stability
Technical Data*
Precisely Measure
Real-World Rates
Features and Benefits
High Accuracy and Linearity over Wide Temperature Range
The voltage output for each axis of the 31207B is directly proportional to the
rotational rate along that axis. Each DC-coupled output is fully scaled,
referenced, and temperature compensated.
Calibration Certificate
Each 31207B is supplied with a calibration certificate listing sensitivity and
offset needed to ensure rapid and efficient system implementation.
Self-Test on Digital Command
A TTL-compatible self-test input causes a simulated rotational rate to be
injected into all three sensors to verify channel integrity.
Small Size
Complete conditioned triaxial rate gyro in less than a cubic inch.
­ uilt-In Power Supply Regulation
B
Unregulated DC power from +8.5 to +36 volts is all that is required to measure
rotational rates on all axes.
Suitable for Harsh Environments
The 31207B is robust and can be used in harsh environments. The unit will
survive 2000 g powered and unpowered.
Three Year Warranty
Measurement Specialties’ 31207B Triaxial Rate Gyros are covered by a three
year return to factory warranty.
31207B Analog Rate Gyro
precisionsensors.meas-spec.com The Measurement Specialties 31207B
Triaxial Rate Gyro is capable of
sensing angular rate around three
orthogonal axes. Fully temperature
compensated analog outputs are
available for the X, Y and Z axes.
Choose the range option best suited
for your application to measure
±1000°/sec or ±1200°/sec rotational
rates on each of three axes.
Each axial sensor has been tested over
the -40 to +85°C temperature range
and has a nominal full scale output
swing of ±2 volts. The zero rate output
level is nominally +2.5 volts. Precise
values for each axis are available on
the included calibration certificate.
Custom versions of the 31207B can
be provided for applications which
require different ranges and/or
bandwidths.
