"textContent": "A vibrating structure gyroscope comprises a resonant structure arranged to vibrate under stimulation from a primary drive electrode. A drive system is arranged to vibrate the vibrating structure at a resonance frequency. An automatic gain control unit varies an amplitude of a primary drive signal (P). A controller operates the gyroscope such that in a first mode of operation, the automatic gain control unit varies an amplitude of the drive signal (P) between an operating range defined by upper and lower bounds and in a second mode operation, in which the automatic gain control unit sets the amplitude of the drive signal (P) to a predetermined level outside of the operating range. In the second mode of operation an amplitude of a primary sense signal (P) is measured after a predetermined time period to determine an oscillation cycle count during said predetermined time period.",
