SpitzenwertRecorder
A Spitzenwertrecorder, also known as a peak value recorder or peak detector, is an electronic device designed to capture and display the maximum instantaneous value of a varying electrical signal over a specific period. It essentially "remembers" the highest amplitude reached by the signal.
These devices are crucial in applications where understanding the extreme excursions of a signal is important,
The core principle of operation typically involves a circuit that charges a capacitor to the peak voltage
