This one did not work for me.. neither 802.15.4 :-( These projects
were not open-source and declined to be set open.

Regarding Power Profiling Nordic has nice Power Profiler Kit version 2
(PPK2) pretty fast and good current resolution (uA..A with nA..mA

Still it was not open-source also the protocol was not open and
declined to be set open. You need to use their application.
