12.4. Consumption Measurement Procedure
This chapter describes the procedure for consumption measurement which is used to obtain the
GL61x0 consumption specifications.
The GL61x0 consumption specification values are measured for all operating modes available. For
more information about switching between the operating modes, refer to the appendix of document [7]
Firmware 7.42 AT Commands Manual (Sierra Wireless Software Suite 2.32).
Consumption results are highly dependent on the hardware configuration used during measurement
and the following sub-sections describe both the hardware and software configuration settings that
should be used to obtain optimum consumption measurements.
12.4.1. Hardware Configuration
The following hardware configuration includes both the measurement equipment and the GL61x0.
12.4.1.1.
Equipment
Three devices are used to perform consumption measurement:
A communication tester
A current measuring power supply
A computer, to control the GL61x0 and to save measurement data
