12.4. Consumption Measurement Procedure
This chapter describes the procedure for consumption measurement which is used to obtain the
GL61x0 consumption specifications.
The GL61x0 consumption specification values are measured for all operating modes available. For
more information about switching between the operating modes, refer to the appendix of document [7]
Firmware 7.42 AT Commands Manual (Sierra Wireless Software Suite 2.32).
Consumption results are highly dependent on the hardware configuration used during measurement
and the following sub-sections describe both the hardware and software configuration settings that
should be used to obtain optimum consumption measurements.
