      • Procedure for Measuring Power using the Current Probe
        1. Tektronix TDS 3014B e* scope connected with a current probe is used to measure current for the experiment.
        2. Check to see if the current line on the scope is set to the reference line.
        3. Adjust the horizontal measuring line (by turning the left knob cw/ccw) and make sure you read delta = 0.00 on the right side corner of the LCD screen.
        4. Open the probe and connect to the wires labeled O1....
        5. Make sure when connecting each time the direction of the arrow on the probe is towards the ATX connector (White connector connecting to the board)
        6. Take the measuring cursor to the current line and note down the value for delta
        7. Measure current for wires labeled O1-O3, R1-R3, Y1
        8. O1-O3 are rated at +3.3V, R1-R4 are +5.0V, Y1 is +12.0V
        9. Power is the product of voltage and the measured current. Add the power for all the measured lines
        10. Compute the power for just the base system and base system with cores (1 to 10).
