The Power interface measures the power consumption of the connected circuitry.
Select the Power interface beneath the debug tool DGI. Set up the interface using the controls under “Power Settings.”
Control | Value | Usage |
---|---|---|
Enabled Channels | A, A+B | Either enable channel A only or both channels A and B. Channel A is always enabled. |
Lock Channel A in high range* | Unchecked, checked | Channel A can be locked to the high range to avoid automatic switching to the low range. This allows detection of short spikes in current consumption without critical samples being lost when switching between the ranges. |
Output Voltage in mV | Between 1600 mV and 5500 mV, or 0 | The MPLAB ICE 4 features an adjustable target supply that can be used to power the target application. This setting enables and controls the output voltage of this supply. A selection of 0 disables the supply. |
