```
public HiTechnicGyro(AnalogPort port)
```
    Supports the SampleProvider interface.
    The sensor measures the angular velocity in degrees per second. A positive rate indicates a counterclockwise rotation. A negative rate indicates a clockwise rotation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    port - the Analog port
  - HiTechnicGyro
```
public HiTechnicGyro(Port port)
```
    Supports the SampleProvider interface.
    The sensor measures the angular velocity in degrees per second. A positive rate indicates a counterclockwise rotation. A negative rate indicates a clockwise rotation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    port - the Sensor port

  - getRateMode
```
public SensorMode getRateMode()
```
    HiTechnic Gyro sensor, Rate mode
    The Rate mode measures the angular speed of the sensor over three axes
    Size and content of the sample
    The sample contains one element giving the angular speed (in degrees/second) of the sensor over its vertical axis (Z-axis).
