I am evaluating the PPK2 for use in a custom test bench. The test bench uses a few Python programs to gather current measurements of a device under different operating conditions. One of the parameters that I am evaluating is the maximum current measurement rate we can achieve.
I am using the PPK2 Python API (GitHub - IRNAS/ppk2-api-python: Power Profiling Kit 2 unofficial python api) to read data from the PPK2. The PPK2 Python API uses a default baud rate of 9600 baud, which can be easily modified. I have tried increasing the baud rate and have reached values so high that they make me suspect that the baud rate parameter is not really used, so the two questions that I have are:
1) Does the baud rate parameter have any effect at all in the USB-Serial link used to communicate with the PPK2?
2) If the parameter does have an effect, what is the maximum baud rate supported by the PPk2 firmware?
Thanks
