USB Pass-Through<br />

In addition to the Main channel, two other channels are sampled at the same time. One of<br />

these is used for monitoring USB power. To use the USB Pass-Through mode, connect the<br />

USB device to the <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Device</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Monitor</strong>, and connect a USB cable from the <strong>Mobile</strong><br />

<strong>Device</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Monitor</strong> to the development workstation as shown in Figure 19 below.<br />

To download code or data when testing a device, USB can be used to connect the device to<br />

the <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Device</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Monitor</strong>. However, when connecting to USB, USB charges the<br />

device, which disturbs the current measurements. To remedy this, the <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Device</strong> <strong>Power</strong><br />

<strong>Monitor</strong> has an Auto USB passthrough mode. Auto USB passthrough mode is useful<br />

for testing, because in Auto USB passthrough mode, the USB pass-through is<br />

disconnected whenever sampling starts. After sampling has completed, USB is reconnected<br />

automatically so that test data can be loaded to the device. The Auto USB passthrough<br />

mode setting is shown in below in Figure 20.<br />
