 A communication tester
 A current measuring power supply
 A computer, to control the GL61x0 and to save measurement data
Figure 29. Typical Hardware Configuration for Power Consumption Measurement
The communication tester is a CMU 200 from Rhode & Schwartz. This tester offers all required
GSM/GPRS network configurations and allows a wide range of network configurations to be set.
The 66321B power supply is used to supply the GL61x0, and it could also be used to measure the
total current drain by the device. The current measurement data is read through the GPIB connection.
Note that a SIM card must be inserted during all consumption measurements.
The following table lists the recommended equipments to use for the consumption measurement.
