The open-loop gyro requires electronics to drive the SLD and phase modulator (PZT) for signal conditioning and for precise demodulation of the optical signal. The OE141-55 analog processing board is used in the VG910H and VG910D models, whereas the advanced OE141-35 analog processing board with built-in bias calibration and accurate phase control loops is used in the VG910F models.
