Quick start
Your Power Profiler Kit (PPK) can be up and running in just a few steps.
In the simplest configuration, the PPK is connected to an nRF5x Development Kit (DK), which is not included
in the present package. Configure the PPK for current measurements as described in
on page 14, and upload the firmware for your application to the nRF5x DK before performing
the quick start. The current measurements are performed on the nRF5x DK device. The nRF5x DK is also used
for sending data to the PPK desktop application and as a power supply.
See Nordic Semiconductor Infocenter for information on the
Figure 2: Typical configuration for current measurements on the nRF5x DK
Complete the following steps:
Important:
In some of the procedure descriptions, the nRF52 DK is used as a reference, but the nRF51
DK can also be used.
1.
If the PPK is used with the nRF5x DK, prepare the nRF5x DK for power measurements by cutting the PCB
track shorting solder bridge
