Abstract
An interface module for interfacing an external device with a host computer is physically and electrically connected to the host computer. The module monitors its own power consumption and reports its power consumption to the host computer. This information can be used to determine the total power consumed by multiple modules, to indicate a problem with the interface module, or to detect a leakage current associated with the external device when main power is off.
