MSP430FR6870: power requirements for DCO ?

Part Number: MSP430FR6870

The datasheet provides power requirements(estimates) for all the available oscillators but the DCO. Is this information available anywhere else ?

I've realized that our only critical frequency requirement is for IR comms and the eUSCI includes a modulator in baud rate generator to allow possible calibration. Using HFXT is 4-5x more current than MODOSC so it may be worth the calibration step but perhaps using the DCO will give some power savings without calibration (or less critical calibration).

Will be getting some hardware soon so can do a few measurements but seems odd the DCO is a special case where this info is not available in datasheet.
