The average current drawn by the application nRF54L15 SoC can be measured using an ampere meter. This method monitors the current in series with the nRF device. A true Root Mean Square (RMS) ampere meter is recommended.
- Prepare the nRF54L15 DK as described in Set up the DK.
- Connect an ampere meter between the pins of header P6 as shown in the following figure.
- Set the average timing of the ampere meter to a long interval, such as 1 s or longer.
- Set the dynamic range of the ampere meter between 1 µA and 15 mA, so that it is wide enough to provide accurate measurements.
