R7F102GGE2DFB RL78/G22 fast prototyping board - current consumption measurement

Question

I'd like to know which is the best way to measure current consumption on this demo board. 
 I need to verify standby current consumption. 
 Is there something similar?

Hello simonemassignan, 
 Thank you for reaching out to the Renesas Engineering Community! 
 There is also a measurement available for the current drawn by the evaluation MCU for your RL78/G22 Fast Prototyping Board. You can find the documentation at this link: rl78g22-fast-prototyping-board-users-manual . However, please note that the J11 header is not mounted on the board, and you need to cut the VDD pattern. I would also recommend placing a Shunts Short Circuit Cap/Header Pin Jumper Cap in the J11 slot in case you no longer need to measure the current. 
 I hope this helps!
