https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/5255/soft-device-power-comsumptionHello, I have been messing around with a PCA10001 Dev board trying to do some power consumption tests (Beacon demo code). When I enable RTC1 only and use __WFE in the main loop I get just under 4 micro amp. As soon as I call: SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INITen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 26 Jan 2015 17:01:16 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/18394?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 26 Jan 2015 17:01:16 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:324201c3-813b-41b8-881c-b3f820914a16digitalnyx<p>If anyone else runs into this problem, it appears to be that a micro amp capable meter causes too much power loss through the circuit when trying to initialize the soft device. I guess it threw me because I was able to do everything else on the chip with the meter hooked up. The solution was a low-side shunt, I was able to measure 3 micro amp between advertisements.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
