Dev Kit Power Usage

Anyone in the forum has tried to measure the overall power usage in Watts of the fully loaded TX2 dev-kit?

Thanks!

Nvidia officially announced that the max load is at 15w
and it is hard to define the fully loaded.
some one might define it as only GPU cores are fully loaded and some people might think only CPU cores are fully loaded.
and some people might use the sd card and GPIO Pins, which will increase the power consumption

Thanks for the reply. I thought the maximum of 15W only refers to the module instead of the entire dev-kit?

One thing it does exclude is powering of external USB and PCIe devices. I suppose the default camera might also be excluded…but I have no idea how much power a camera takes (it certainly wouldn’t be much).
