The current consumption of the device was tested by connecting the power pads on the wireless patch to a DC power analyzer capable of measuring currents in the nA range at fast intervals over time. For the current consumption test during initialization, the current consumption was measured as soon as the pads on the wireless patch were connected to the power analyzer. The measurement spanned the full start-up sequence, and the average current was taken. The power analyzer then remained connected and measuring while the device cycled between advertizing and connected active modes. The average and peak current consumption during active mode were taken since both are relevant for battery selection considerations.
