MSP430F5x and EnergyTrace in LowPower mode

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGYTRACE, MSP430F5438A, MSP430F5437A

Hello,

I'm trying to trace my consumption with EnergyTrace (Nice Tool ;O)

But I know that my sensor get in LPM and I can verify it, measuring consumption with an external dedicated material out of JTAG debugger. I know that my sensor reach  most of the time to about 10uAmps.


Viewed with "MSP FET Flash Emulation Tool" i'can't get lower than 800uA.


I read a lot about that and here some informations:

First with my device (MSP430F5438A Rev H): I know that i can't get EnergyTrace++ (but i don't think i need it ?).

Then, I can't set the option "Low Power mode settings Enable ultra Low Power Mode LPM5 debug ?" I don't thing I need that as I'm only using LPM4 at most ?

I use the Free run mode.

In the "slau157am", page 31, The second to last Q/A talk about JTAG pin that should be correctly configure according to their states in free run mode. BUT is that could explain more than 500 uA of over consumption and Where can i get their correct configuration ?


In advance Thanks if anyone as ideas about all this.
