Abstract
A measuring circuit including a piezoelectric transducer contains an output charge amplifier circuit with a semiconductor element connected across the storage element of the charge amplifier. The semiconductor element controls the resetting or zeroing of the storage element to thereby effect control of the operation of the charge amplifier. Typically, the semiconductor element may be a field effect transistor, photo-device, etc., and the control of the same may be remotely controlled.
