Question about a circuit

HI could someone tell me how the following circuit affects the signal of the gyro sensor? XV3500CB is the gyro chip. Vref is the reference voltage and Vout is the output voltage of the gyro. Could someone please explain to me what the op amp does to
the gyro output signal???
I've been searching but I just cant find anything related to this. :(

An OP amp is usually used to amplify an analog signal. In this case it probably takes the small, weak signal from the Gyro, and amplifies it. The signal needs to be strong enough, and wide enough to drive an input of a controller.
