Method and apparatus for automatic determination of the surface of the tail of a preceding peak in the output signal of a measuring device by means of rotatable following peak

摘要

Apparatus for integrating the area of a succeeding peak superimposed on the tail of a preceding peak in the output of a measuring instrument. The apparatus comprises means for providing for the output of the instrument a temporary base line which has the slope of the tail at a point in the valley between the two peaks and which extends under the succeeding peak; means for integrating the area under the succeeding peak and above the temporary base line; means for calculating the excess of the integrated area caused by the temporary base line; and means for subtracting the excess area from the integrated area to obtain the area of the succeeding peak.
