52840DK BLE power consumption measurements

[HPN]

Hi all,

I'm measuring BLE consumption in advertising mode with 52840DK + PPK2. I've configured the PPK2 both in amperometer and source meter. Measurements (for the same code and same configuration of other parameters of the 52840DK) are quite different. In particular, for source meter mode, I see an average current which is approximately double the one measured in amperometer mode. 

What is the correct measure to take as reference?

Thanks,

HPN

Hi,

Did you cut any solder bridges on your development kit?

Can you share photos showing how you have connected the PPK to the DK in source mode and ampere meter mode?
