# Power profiling

> Inspect measured power data in the context of firmware behavior.

Inspect measured power data in the context of firmware behavior.

## Before you start

A supported measurement/capture source and known units/timebase.

## Workflow

Load or connect the supported source exposed by Power Profiling. Inspect the interval around the operation, compare repeatable runs and keep board supply/configuration details with the measurement.

## Interpret the result

An imported trace is historical. Do not infer battery life from one interval without duty cycle, regulator losses and system operating conditions.

For an unexplained result, preserve the source/configuration and observation together. Use [Diagnose a failure](/workflows/diagnose) to turn it into a reproducible investigation. Check [support boundaries](/reference/limitations) before assuming a vendor-specific operation is implemented.
