High accuracy and resolution analog measurement
The Power Profiler Kit has an advanced analog measurement
unit with a high dynamic input range. This allows accurate
current consumption measurements for the entire range
typically seen in embedded applications based on nRF devices,
all the way from single µA to tens of mA. For the lowest input
range the resolution is 0.2 µA. The time resolution is also
high enough to detect spikes.This is achieved by having a
77 kHz sampling rate of the current.
Improve debugging of code
The Power Profiler Kit supports both external trigger input
and a trigger output. This makes it possible to combine the
use of the Power Profiler Kit with oscilloscopes and logic
analyzers. Code-synchronized measurements can be achieved
by connecting the external trigger input to an I/O pin on the
device being tested. This I/O pin must be configured to output
a synchronization pulse.
Being able to synchronize current measurement with
code makes it easier to spot software problems quickly.
Easy to use desktop application
The desktop application supporting the Power Profiler Kit
provides several ways of assessing the power consumption,
both instantaneous and averaged over a set time period. The
kit can be configured to take readings over a period of up to
20 seconds, while simultaneously zooming in on a millisecond
interval of interest. It is possible to measure instantaneous
current for two separate points and at the same time measure
the average current between the points. The points can be set
separately for both windows at the same time. Measured data
can also be exported for post processing.
