Thanks for all the responses!! The missing pulse detector looks like it might work. Robert Reed: Yep, it's that simple. And I've thought about doing exactly what you've said. (See in my OP about using a HP filter.) The only potential problem is that I'd be hanging quite a few passive components onto...
