nRF Connect Power Profiler

Introduction

The Power Profiler application is a tool to communicate with the The Power Profiler Kit (PPK), an affordable and flexible tool to obtain real-time current measurements of your designs. The PPK measures current consumption for a connected nRF5x Development Kit or any external board. It measures current from 1 μA up to 70 mA and gives a detailed picture of the current profile for the user application.

All functionality is described in the User Guide.
