Ok, thank you for the clarification.

Yes, I know, but the maximum accuracy of my multimeter is the mA. :(

Yes, in fact this morning I did more testing. In the NullC application I
added a component at a time and the result was:

- Without components: ~ 1.5 mA
- With ActiveMessageC (1): ~ 0 mA (Rx sleep)
- With (1) and SenderC/ReceiverC/SplitControl (2): ~ 18 mA (Rx on)
- With (1), (2) and LPL (3): ~ 0 mA (Rx sleep)

Unfortunately I can not see the awakening of transmission in the LPL
because my multimeter is slow.

First, in previous posts, I was totally confused because, with LPL, in
the sleep period my multimeter showed 3 mA. This morning I discovered
that this value is given by the PRINTF library. In fact if I compile the
application with the flag:

CFLAGS += -I$(TOSDIR)/lib/printf

in the Makefile, then in the sleep period I have ~ 3 mA. Incredible! :)

However, thank you very much for your time Miklos.
