REAMP: HIGH ACCURACY POWER CONSUMPTION LOGGER
FEATURES:
Wide range and high accuracy Current
measurements (from 10µA to 1A)
Two channels for Voltage measurement (0V to
5V)
10 Hz to 10 kHz Sample rate
TRIG and SYNC gates to synchronize logger
with target board and PC
Time-limit and infinite measurement modes
Built-in Li-Ion battery for cases when DUT
current consumption is over 500 mA
Comprehensive power consumption analysis
with REAMP PC Software (diagrams, data
recording, saving data log files)
Easy navigation both for small or extremely
large 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 IN YOUR ULP DIY PROJECTS TO ACHIEVE MORE AND SUCCEED FASTER
TO EASE THE LIFE
OF IOT DEVELOPERS
When you want to get the
longest battery life possible,
you need a high accuracy and
reliable power measurement
tool.
So REAMP is the best choice
for your Ultra Low Power
projects and IoT
developments. REAMP
measures ultra-low current
and voltage and functions as a
highly stable and accurate
power source for Device
Under the Test (DUT).
It allows you to see even subtle
changes in the power
consumption profile of the DUT

    "+" DUT and GND to "-" DUT. This setup allows for measuring the current consumption of the DUT. Since a USB port can only provide up to 500 mA of current output, the REAMP is equipped with a built-in Li-ion battery to ensure sufficient power. The battery is automatically recharged through a USB port using a charge algorithm of CC-CV at 250 mA current.
