DOH! Andrew, you are so right!

When I read - on the analog devices site - that the chip detected the Coriolis motion, I got it in my head that radial placement would affect the measurement. Your comment made me go back and look at a derivation of Coriolis force ( http://www.scienceworld.wolfram.com/...olisForce.html is a nice one ). It is, indeed, independent of radial position.

my bad
