electronic integrator

Modern electronic integrators will, when properly instructed, ignore electronic noise, compensate for baseline drift, start integration when a peak appears, integrate, and stop the process when the peak exits the detector. Integration, a process of summation, is accomplished by opening and closing a narrow electronic window,…

Electronic integrators or electrical integrating circuits have largely displaced mechanical integrators. The illustration (bottom) shows an electrical circuit that acts as an integrator. For time-varying input, if the resistance R shown in the schematic diagram is very large compared with the capacitive reactance X_C of…
