nPM1100 EK v1.0.0

Using an ampere meter for current measurements

An ampere meter can measure the average current flow. This method monitors the current flow by placing the ampere meter in series with the circuit of interest.

Make sure you have prepared the Evaluation Kit (EK) as described in Preparing the nPM1100 EK.

Connect an ampere meter between the measurement connector for the signal of interest. See Components for current measurement for details.
