Advance high-precision energy consumption analysis & optimization tool.
The Otii Ace Pro is the big brother of the Otii Arc Pro. Keeping the same portable and compact form with comprehensive technical features for energy optimization but with enhanced capabilities to boost battery-driven and energy-harvesting devices requiring high precision at higher voltage ranges, with a high sample rate and low step size.
An all-in-one tool with an isolated power supply unit, a constant voltage/current source and sink, and a high-precision multichannel multimeter. Making it a power analyzer/profiler that records and displays currents, voltages, and power measurements in real time. Enabling hardware, firmware, and software developers to optimize the energy consumption and battery life on any device under test.
With Otii Ace Pro and Otii 3 Desktop App, you can source the voltage of the device under test (DUT) up to 25V while simultaneously measuring and recording current, voltage, and power data in real-time for further analysis to optimize battery life throughout the development cycle. Supporting an adjustable sample rate up to 50ksps, plus a wide dynamic current measurement range (nA-5A) with 0.4nA resolution, and a current measurement accuracy of ±(0.05% + 25nA).

⁽¹⁾ USB power capacity and reliability in laptops and desktops greatly depend on host USB port/cable design. ⁽²⁾ See list of recommended external power supplies and powered USB hubs at our FAQ. ⁽³⁾ Depends on chosen power supply. Otii Arc Pro will monitor internal temperature and cut off if temperature limit is reached. ⁽⁴⁾ Sink voltage can go below this specification if locked to high range. It is possible to go down to 0.5 V if the sink current is below 1.9 A. For currents below 19 mA, the measurement will have a lot more noise when locked to high range than in auto range. ⁽⁵⁾ Up to 19 mA current in auto range, for higher currents, the accuracy is ±(0.1 % + 150 µA). Average > 1s. ⁽⁶⁾ See Nexperia SN74LVC8T245 for details. ⁽⁷⁾ Expansion Port Digital voltage level is set by user in Otii SW. ⁽⁸⁾ Maximum voltage will depend on your USB power supply and USB cable. ⁽⁹⁾ See TI INA226 for details.
