how to use Power Profiler Kit to measure the current of RF?

[xvhongpeng]

Dear friends, I want to measure the current of RF of BLE using PPK. However, i do not care the current of other peripheral devices, such as timers, pwm. How can i make it? In addition,as shown in the pic below, i want to measure the length and average current of each of these components. How to measure the different components of a connection event?regards.

Hi, flash the DK with a clean BLE example from the SDK and measure using the PPK. You can use the ble_app_template example which does not start any other power consuming peripherals. Adjust the trigger in the PPK software so that it triggers on the BLE events (radio events).

You can check out the Online Power Profiler to see how the BLE event is supposed to look and how to find the radio, RX and TX, events.

Yes you can use that example too.
