 The Online Power Profiler is calculating the Average Current consumption for nRF52840 DK board in a wrong way. 
 Calculation is of blocks. =&amp;gt; Pre-processing, Crystal ramp up, Standby, Start radio .. and so on 
 Take a block, say, Pre</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 28 Jan 2019 12:07:16 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/43030/wrong-method-of-average-current-calculation-in-current-online-power-profiler" /><item><title>RE: Wrong method of Average current calculation in Current Online Power Profiler</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/168200?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jan 2019 12:07:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:094c4845-0e00-4a0f-81c2-ad2d985a82c0</guid><dc:creator>Pra_Engr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the graph / Test Setup details /&amp;nbsp; description did not mention this, instead shows only the advertising section, I was confused.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For another instance,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/1006x846/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/wrong_2D00_calc_2D00_in_2D00_Power_2D00_Profile_2D00_2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where the idle / standby time after the advertisement post-processing completed,&amp;nbsp; is not shown in the graph / neither in the Test Setup description ! So thought, average of 4.09ms !&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Wrong method of Average current calculation in Current Online Power Profiler</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/168156?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jan 2019 08:49:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:610f0a11-f3ce-4fc3-82fe-417ea7ccb055</guid><dc:creator>haakonsh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This tool calculates the average current consumption given a set of parameters, one of those parameters is the advertising interval. With an interval of 1000ms the average current consumption will be (4.93mA * 4.09ms + sleep current * (1000ms - 4.09ms)) = &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;24µA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The average current consumption during an advertisment event with your parameters is indeed 4.93mA, but this event occurs only once every second for 4.09ms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
