UTC020.002 USB Type-C PD current limiting (Windows)

Test description

This test aims to verify that the power draw from a USB-C PD power supply does not exceed the limits of the power supply's specifications.

Test configuration data

  1. FIRMWARE = Dasharo
  2. OPERATING_SYSTEM = Windows

Test steps 1. Power on the DUT. 1. Boot into the system. 1. Log into the system by using the proper login and password. 1. Download and install ThrottleStop 1.
