To help customers with power measurement iSYSTEM provides now a so called Power Probe!
As mentioned in last week's blog post the iC5000 I/O module allows now power measurement. But what do you do if your target's voltage and current exceed the input range of the I/O module?
Take iSYSTEM's Power Probe!
The Power Probe is a small board that is connected between the power supply and the target hardware. On the Power Probe you find two resistor blocks - one divider block for voltage and one shunt resistor block for current. If you need to scale down the voltage or current you just select the appropiate resistor by a jumper.
And now you can connect the I/O module to measure the power consumption!
As mentioned in last week's blog post if you use divider resistors remember to specify in "Hardware/ Options/ IO" dialog a "Multiply" value and the Ohm value for the shunt resistor.
