how to measure the coin cell battey voltage in real

[MARTIN FR]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to measure the (3v)battery voltage by having proximity example as reference but intially it is showing 100percent later it is going to 13(percent) voltage approxmiatelry (after 120seconds) i dont understand why it is happening like this can anyone suggest me some possible ways to measure out by using multimeter how much voltage available on ADC pin ? so that i can able to make some idea about the battery level measurement§?

The proximity example in SDK 11 uses a app timer to measure the battery level. The first measurement is not performed until the first time it times out, and the timeout is 120 second (thus measurements are performed every 120 seconds). You can modify BATTERY_LEVEL_MEAS_INTERVAL and set it to a lower value in order to measure more often. You can also do the first measurement at startup, rather than waiting the full measurement interval before doing the first measurement.

Also, if you are not using the DK you may have to change the value of DIODE_FWD_VOLT_DROP_MILLIVOLTS to reflect your hardware.

i have just add the main printf statement in the main function and for your kind reference i ahve attached my main.c file please ahve a look and if i am wrong in the approach pleas let me know and liek what you said previously adc sample is a 10bit number if it is that case i compiled the adc_simple program in the peripheral folder of the SDK10for that i just got 173 and that program also ADC _configured to 10bit resolution only so what is going wrong in my apporach then?
