12. The utilized gated integrator has a memory effect of the previously triggered output value (due to a non-compete discharge of a capacitor) of ca. 5%, which we also confirmed experimentally. In order to suppress this effect we provided the gated integrator with an additional trigger signal prior to each background measurement trigger to suppress this effect to below 0.3%. Thus we triggered the gated integrator with a 6 kHz trigger signal, while the ADC card was triggered for readout at 4 kHz, as described.
