Measure Power on DE2

Hi everybody, I am using Altera DE2 board for the implementation of some VHDL designs. I wonder is it possible to find the way to MEASURE the power consumed by the design? Could I, hypothet...

Dear Dave,

Thank you so much ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your advices were so precious to me.

I understand you very well. It is now up to me to switch R53 with the jumper and to find out the allowed drop of the actual 1.2V core supply.

Dividing the measured differential voltage on the new R53 resistor with its nominal value I obtain the current value (Idesign).

Idesign*1.2V=Ptotal_measured ! Am I right ? :D

Cheers mate,

Bojan
