ABSTRACT:
A voltmeter measures an unknown voltage on a target surface using multiple sampling stages or a parallel reference capacitor. A movable shutter may alternately be closed during resetting of a voltage measuring circuit and opened so as to expose a detector plate to the target surface during two sampling stages. Alternatively, the shutter may be used to modulate exposure of a detector plate to the target surface.
