1 Measuring CC13xx and CC26xx current consumption

This application report describes the setup and procedures to measure power consumption on the CC13xx and C26xx devices. It describes how this can be done both using a DC Power Analyzer or EnergyTrace™. Steps to analyze both a Bluetooth Low Energy peripheral and a device running the proprietary rfPacketTx example are included.
