Dear all, I am measuring the power consumption of micaz mote in different operating modes. I am not clear how people formally define the active mode when they mentioned the power consumption of mote in the active mode in their papers, and how people program the mote to measure it? In addition, how do people program the mote to measure the power consumption of the mote in receive mode please?
After measuring, I got roughly the same answers for both modes with 7.7 mA, and I am not sure if I am doing the right thing. For example, in order to measure the power consumption of mote in active mode, I won't let the MCU go into the sleep mode by commenting out the "call McuSleep.sleep();" and run the Null application. For measurement of that in receive mode, I also commented out the "call McuSleep.sleep();" and turned on the radio by using the Splitcontrol interface. Am I right? Can anyone point me to the right direction if I am wrong?
