A system and method for calibrating an accelerometer assembly is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a controllable motor that rotates an accelerometer assembly around a first axis of rotation (A1), a rotary stage for rotating and holding the accelerometer assembly to at least one other axis of rotation (A2), and a way to vary and hold constant the temperature. The system also includes a computer system for managing the operation of the temperature control and the operation of the motion generation. The computer system further stores and processes the output signals created by the accelerometer assembly so that certain parameters related to the accelerometer assembly can be determined. The parameters include the angular velocity of rotation around the first axis, the angular position of the accelerometer assembly in relation to its rotation around the second axis, and the third parameter being the temperature of the accelerometer assembly. Using these parameters, the accelerometer can be calibrated.
