1.2.2 Mechanical Testing
1.2.2.1 Sinusoidal Scanning Vibration
The gyro is fixed on the vibration table through the fixture according to the direction of vibration, and the gyroscope carries out sinusoidal scanning in 3 directions, corresponding to the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, respectively. Vibration steps; vibration table plus excitation, to the gyroscope power, after a certain period of warm-up (gyro start-up time), test the output value of the gyroscope, about 5min; sinusoidal vibration. Vibration conditions: 20Hz-2000Hz, scanning time 5min, amplitude 4.2g. vibration process, record the gyroscope output.
Random Vibration
Vibration Frequency: 20Hz~2000Hz
Vibration Time: 5min for each axis
Vibration Direction: X, Y, Z axis

Parity check: even;
Gyro valid data for 32 bits (the highest bit for the sign bit, 0 for "+", 1 for "-"), temperature valid data bit 14 bits (the highest bit for the sign bit, 0 for "+", 1 for "-"); the temperature valid data bit 14 bits (the highest bit for the sign bit, 0 for "+", 1 for "-"). ", 1 for "-");
Packet format: each transmission includes a total of 10 bytes, the first byte for the frame header (80H); the second byte for the first byte of gyro data (low byte); the third byte for the second byte of gyro data; the fourth byte for the third byte of gyro data; the fifth byte for the fourth byte of gyro data; the sixth byte for the fifth byte of gyro data (high byte); the seventh byte is the parity bit for the packet for the first five byte (gyro data) of the XOR value; the 8th byte is the low byte of temperature data; the 9th byte is the high byte of temperature data; the 10th bit is the parity bit, which is the XOR value of the first 8 bytes (gyro data) in the data packet;
Data storage method.
