Measuring Power
Current measurement points are available for the CS48L10, CS42L73, and for the entire CRD48L10 using the provided
current measurement headers.

When shipped, each header has a bypass resistor (either 0.5O or 0.1O) to eliminate the need for shunts. This also allows
the user to make voltage measurements across the pins of each header and use the following formulae to convert those
readings to current.
Measurement Method:
•
TP20—Measure voltage across header and multiply by 2 to get current
•
TP21—Measure voltage across header and multiply by 2 to get current
•
TP23—Measure voltage across header and multiply by 2 to get current
•
TP22—Measure voltage across header and multiply by 10 to get current
•
P16—Remove shunt; insert current meter in series and measure current
