4.2 Current Measurement

The common used tools are the multimeter and oscilloscope. For normal multimeter, it may be an easiest tool to evaluate the power consumption, but it is limited by its low sampling speed and no time stamps. For the oscilloscope, it is a good tool to detect the maximum power consumption combined with the current clamp or simple resistors. But it is hard to detect uA level current, because of its resolution and the common noise across the space.
