MSP432P401R SimpleLink™ Microcontroller LaunchPad™ Development Kit
(MSP
‑
EXP432P401R)
Starting a debug session will now open EnergyTrace technology windows. These windows show energy,
power, profile, and states to give the user a full view of the energy profile of their application.
Figure 9. EnergyTrace ™ Windows
This data allows the user to see exactly where and how energy is consumed in their application.
Optimizations for energy can be quickly made for the lowest power application possible.
On the LaunchPad development kit, EnergyTrace technology measures the current that enters the target
side of the LaunchPad development kit. This includes all BoosterPack plug-in modules plugged in, and
anything else connected to the 3V3 power rail. For more information about powering the LaunchPad
development kit, see Section 2.4.

For more details and questions about setting up and using EnergyTrace technology with the
MSP432P401R MCU, see the Code Composer Studio™ IDE 7.1+ for SimpleLink™ MSP432™
Microcontrollers User's Guide.
