REAMP: Accurate power consumption logger
To ease the life of IoT developers
Features:
Accurate Current measurements in the wide range from 10µA to 1A
Two channels for Voltage measuring
Sample rate from 10 Hz to 10 kHz
TRIG and SYNC gates to synchronize logger with target board and vice versa
Time-limit and infinite measurements modes
Built-in Li-Ion battery for cases when DUT current consumption is over 500 mA
Comprehensive power consumption analysis with PC Software
Easy navigation both for short or giant measurement data sets, zooming and scrolling
features
Consumption averaging as well as real-time analysis
Battery Life Calculator
Ready-to-use Multi-OS software for Windows®, Linux® and macOS®
Use REAMP at your ULP DIY projects to quickly achieve success.
When you want to achieve the longest
battery life possible, you need an accurate
and reliable power measurement tool.
So REAMP is a best choice
for your Ultra Low Power projects.
REAMP acts as very stable and accurate
power source for Device Under the Test
(DUT).
This allows to see even subtle changes in
the power consumption profile of the
DUT.

  • Page 6: Basic Operation

    To ensure normal operation of the DUT, set the required supply voltage and choose the power source. Since a USB 2.0 port cannot provide an output current of more than 500 mA, the REAMP has a built-in Li-ion battery. The battery is automatically recharged from a USB port. Charging algorithm: CC-CV, 250 mA current.

The following levels are accepted for this signal: Low (LOW): U < 1 V. High (HIGH): Up-up > U> 2.5 V. The active level is LOW. It enables synchronization of the external process with the measurement triggering process.
