The invention refers to a process for scanning a gyroscopic instrument. The invention is characterised by the collection of gyroscopic data being effected by true angle scanning. In order to apply the process of the invention, a gyroscopic instrument including a gyroscopic scanning system is required in which the gyroscopic scanning system is coupled with a rotating, scanned and/or scanning unit. The process may also refer to a gyroscopic instrument including a gyroscopic scanning system in which a scanning module (such as a CCD sensor) is arranged on the side of the gyroscopic instrument as a scanning device, directly scanning horizontal and vertical true angle identifications on a gyroscopic instrument.
A process for scanning a gyroscopic instrument of the type having a gyroscopic system, which rotates angularly in response to the angular change in the course of an associated vehicle, thereby to produce a collection of gyroscopic data corresponding to the true angle of change in the vehicle's course, comprising
A gyroscopic instrument of the type having a gyroscopic system, which rotates angularly in response to the angular change in the course of an associated vehicle, and including a gyroscopic scanning system for determining the angular change in the course of the vehicle, and characterised in that the gyroscopic scanning system is directly coupled with a rotary scanning unit.
A gyroscopic instrument for detecting the angular change in the course of an asociated vehicle, comprising a rotatable gyroscopic device and a gyroscopic scanning system, characterized in that said scanning system includes a scanning component arranged on the gyroscopic instrument, said component being operative to scan directly horizontal and vertical markings on the gyroscopic device upon rotation thereof in response to any change in the angular course of said vehicle, and to generate a signal corresponding to said angular change.
