This use case will show you how to make use of the USB “pass-through” connectors on
the Power Debugger. We will use a SAM L21
Xplained Pro kit as an example of a USB-powered product, where the designer
is interested in both total power consumed over the USB port and that
consumed by the target device on the board. The SAM L22 kit could also be
used.
Important: The Data Visualizer used in this use case
should not be confused with the MPLAB Data Visualizer. These two applications have a
similar feature set and the Power Debugger also works
with the MPLAB Data Visualizer, but the user interface is totally different. The Data
Visualizer referred to in this use case was originally named Atmel Data
Visualizer.
