To obtain power consumption measurements, the header is connected to a data acquisition unit
(Keithley 2701 or similar) and the voltages on the SOM_PWR_SENSE_P/N pins are captured a few times
a second over the test period (typically 30 minutes). The SOM power consumption is then calculated as
(where Rsense = 5 milliohms):
