Hello,

after some requests on my last posting about muRata Gyrostar devices, I
made a small compilation of my tests I have done with this units.
This compilation is available via anonymous ftp on our server
"ag_vp_file_server.informatik.uni-kl.de" (131.246.192.2).
Login as "anonymous" or "ftp" and be so kind to leave your e-mail
address as password.

One remark to another posting:

(As posted before) There are three types of Gyrostar:
ENV-5S  The first one, the one I used in my tests
ENX-5S  Not more accurate (by spec.), but rated at a higher
        temperature range
ENC-5S  (The one Phil mentioned here) 1/5 the size of the
        older one, worse spec., so I doubt, if it is usefull
        for getting an orientation

Regards,  Gerd
