High current consumption during IDLE mode

According to the datasheet for your multimeter, it is only rated for measurements down to 400µA, this is not enough to measure this type of current.

Hi there Øyvind,

I measure current via 'SANWA' Digital Multimeter CD771, description.

Hi,

First off this will depend on what measuring equipment you have available and which version of the development kit (I am assuming that is what you are using) you are using. The introduction to current measurement describes this well. Which version of the SoftDevice you are using will also matter.

I've experienced something very much like what you are describing, please see my somewhat dated answer here.

For additional information you can also have a look at:

Hopefully this answers your question, best regards,
