How it works

MeasurementSetupDark.PNG

Connect the power profiler in series with the load and the power supply. Connect the reference ground, calibrate once using the self calibration, and you are good to measure. It measures the current at 1Msps and streams the data directly to the PC over the USB link. It also measures the voltage every 10ms. At the end of the capture time, which can extend beyond many hours, just stop the capture and start analyzing the data.

 

Using real world battery models, the battery life of the product under test can be estimated accurately. The free Software GUI provided with the tool, can perform various waveform analysis like window averaging, peak estimation, long term averaging and long term battery life estimation. It also supports exporting to various formats like XML, Sigrok etc.

Below chart shows the measurement capability of the tool.

In performance, the ZS-2102-A beats most equipment made for this purpose at this price range.

ZSCircuits Power Profiler:
In my opinion your device the ZS-2102-A is the most useful out of this list!
I am missing an isolation between USB and measurement but i can also use a standard USB isolator. It’s a pity that the voltage and the current are not sampled simultaneously!

REMARK: I didn’t check the software yet, but i will probably order a ZS circuits for further testing, probably also for a tear-down Link

The ZS-2102 is a great tool for measuring power profile of battery-driven IoT devices, and it’s hard to match the current price of 699 USD for equivalent features.
