Either a half or full-wave rectifier will do it. For a half-wave
rectifier circuit, look at the CV processing circuit on Ken Stone's
Voltage Controlled Divider:
http://www.cgs.synth.net/A half-wave rectifier will simply cut off the negative voltages, but
allow all positive voltages to pass through with as much accuracy as the
resistors in the circuit allow. The rectifier circuit uses one TL072 op
amp (both sections). A full-wave version is also doable with one dual
op amp. The full-wave will invert any negative voltages and make them
positive. Use whichever circuit meets the need. See Electronotes for
FW rectifier circuits.
