MSP430FR5994: In MSPDS, what is event triggered device state capturing using energy trace and how do I use it?

Part Number:MSP430FR5994

Hi,

I am using MSPDS open source package v3. So far I was able to capture the device current, voltage and energy measurements using time driven profiling (ETMode option ET_PROFILING_ANALOG). I am currently looking at event triggered state capturing (using ETMode = ET_EVENT_ANALOG) to capture measurements for a particular function in my loaded program.

I found that the source code for MSPDS does not have an option to use ET_EVENT_ANALOG/DSTATE. I wanted to know how event triggered device state capturing works and how to use it in MSPDS to measure current and voltage of the target device.

Basically, I am exploring this option to take measurements of a part of my program using EnergyTrace instead of the whole program.

Thank you.
