Zusammenfassung:A sensor including means for operating the sensor in angular rate measuring and stabilization or rate integrating modes. When operating in the rate measuring mode, a loop is closed through an amplifier and torquer to null the sensor and when operating in the stabilization mode said loop is open and another loop is closed through a load to maintain the sensor at null. In the stabilization mode, the amplifier is used to apply command rate and drift correction signals to the sensor.
