How to know the power consumption of one board?

How does it inflect the function?

If I want to get the power consumption of board, for example, Devkit3250 
evaluation kit, how do I know by myself?

the required answers :-)

No problem. Just take a calibrated multimeter.

Hello brittany,

just to give you a clue: Even if you mneasure this exact sample the next 
one might deviate from this. So just use a plain ordinary multimeter and 
have a go. If it's used in industry they might know that there is 
something like "tolerances". If you require tight tolerances the wa to 
select wit such a multimeter is the wrong approach.
