Abstract
An input circuit for electronic instruments, particularly measuring instruments, has an input for an input signal with a DC and an AC component and has an output for connection to the electronic instrument. A direct current or direct voltage source is provided, and a compensating circuit compensates the DC component of the input signal in such a way that the AC component is isolated and presented at the output. The compensating circuit is basically an impedance network consisting of three resistors connected in a .pi.-style with the two outer resistors being connected to direct voltage or direct current sources which are jointly variable in such a way that they cancel each other at the input and the DC component of the input signal can be compensated at the output.
