Current consumption measurement 

To measure  the  current  consumption  of  the  LENA-R8  module  cellular  system,  remove  the  jumper 
socket from the Cellular VCC supply jumper, (

J102

 on the ADP-R8), as shown in 

Figure 7

.

A suitable external digital multi-meter (as the Keysight 34465A, 34410A or 34411A) can be used for 
current consumption measurements: in this example, the 3.8 V supply circuit on the EVB will supply 
the cellular module, with the digital multi-meter placed in series as illustrated i

Alternatively, a suitable external DC power supply with the dynamic current measurement capabilities 
(e,g., the portable and cheap Qoitech Otii Arc, or the more accurate Keysight N6705B, or the models 
designed for mobile communications Keysight 66319B/D or 66321B/D) can be used, acting also as 
3.8 V supply source for the cellular module mounted on the adapter board, as illustrated i
