Measure power consumption of the NI board.

[Kien]

Dear Sir,

Do you know if we can measure the power consumption for the NI board? I'm try to implement an application in different architectures in a sbrio board:  1. use only 1 CPU, 2. use Dual CPU, 3. use both CPUs and FPGA.   But I need to compare the power consumption between three solution to find the best one.  I hope there is some tool of Labview to do it.  

Another question is how can we define the performance of each CPU when we use multiprocessors to implement the application?

Best regards,

Kien

Hi Kien,

Use a SMU like a Keithley2400 to power your sbrio board: you get a current measurement with a stabilized voltage supply!

Why do you want to define any performance? I think you want to measure the performance...
