What is a 'saturation-maximum period' and how does that relate to rotation?

I'd guess that after the 'chute deployed the probe was spinning faster than the spin-rate sensor could measure, so the sensor was giving its max output reading for longer than expected and the software saw this and marked the sensor as 'failed' ?
