Advanced Energy Monitor
8. Advanced Energy Monitor
When the CPT112S Capacitive Sense Evaluation Board is connected to a Silicon Labs STK, the STK's AEM (Advanced Energy Moni-
tor) hardware also measures the CPT112S power consumption using the VMCU connection on the EXP header. By using the [Energy
Profiler] in Simplicity Studio, current consumption and voltage can be measured in real time.
More details about AEM and its operation can be found in the STK User Guide. Note that AEM will measure the current for all circuitry
connected to VMCU, including the STK MCU and the CPT device.
