What does dof stand for

Manufacturer may attempt to hide unfavorable information by only selectively giving numbers, although in this case the values are very good even in the worst case scenario of +/-2000 dps. We have to make assumptions because the manufacturer hasn't provided all the information we might need, but generally the zero rate offset increases with sensitivity so this is a safe assumption in this particular case. This starts to highlight some of the problems with datasheets, though. The value is also give in LSB rather than DPS, so we need to convert LSB to DPS to have a useful value, which we can do with the content of the Sensitivity entry above: This means that this is probably the worst case scenarion since CTRL_REG0 = 00 corresponds to +/- 2000 dps.

This is less helpful than the 元GD20 above since we only have a single value, DO (or Zero-rate Offset), with the test condition shown as CTRL_REG0 = 00.
