Problem setting up calibration resistors

We are in the development stage of a product that uses the nRF52832 and have acquired a nRF6707 Rev 1.1.0 power profiler kit to make power consumption measurements.
I am using it plugged into a nRF5x DK.
I have cut SB9. There are no problems with lower currents. With currents over 3mA, LED2 on the PPK flashes rapidly. The on board regulator is also going out of regulation with higher currents. With the output of the PPK set at 3.6V, a 36mA load brings the output down to 2.7V. After setting the resistor calibration number for 6mA load, I still see 6mA on the plot when the load is changed to 10mA. Again, all lower currents are displayed accurately on the plot. Can someone please tell me if the board is not set up correctly or if there might be something wrong with the board.

Thank You

  • The calibration values are 29.5 for high, 30 for mid and 500 for low.

    If I set the high calibration number lower, the numbers I get for currents for loads from 600uA to 4mA are higher than they should be. Also the currents I am seeing for 600uA to 4mA aren't affected by the setting of the switching points. These currents aren't affected by the setting of the mid calibration number. Only the high setting is affecting those currents. LED2 stops flashing when I set the trigger level higher. I am using software version 1.1.0. I have looked for but haven't located version 1.0 software on the website. Do you know where it is located?
