PPK2 scope of usage

[elenva]

Hi,

Can we use the PPK2 kit for measuring current consumption in any other reference design board from a different

vendor which is not same as DA. The other vendor does provide probe point (GND, POSITIVE, and NEGATIVE) to connect

to PPK2 kit

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi Vijay

That points to the PPK not being set up correctly or not working correctly. The picture is too small for me to see if the pins are connected correctly to your board. Is it connected as an Ampere-meter to the board? How are you powering the board your measuring on here? These spikes could be USB noise if it's powered over a USB. Can you also try connecting it as a source meter where you power the circuit you'd like to measure the current consumption over (if possible)?

Best regards,

Simon
