# {mod}`mozpower` --- Power-usage testing
Mozpower provides an interface through which power usage measurements
can be done on any OS and CPU combination (auto-detected) that has
been implemented within the module. It provides 2 methods to start
and stop the measurement gathering as well as methods to get the
result that can also be formatted into a perfherder data blob.
## Basic Usage
Although multiple classes exist within the mozpower module,
the only one that should be used is MozPower which is accessible
from the top-level of the module. It handles which subclasses
should be used depending on the detected OS and CPU combination.
```python
from mozpower import MozPower
mp = MozPower(
ipg_measure_duration=600,
sampling_rate=1000,
output_file_path='tempdir/dataprefix'
)
mp.initialize_power_measurements()
# Run test TEST_NAME
mp.finalize_power_measurements(
test_name=TEST_NAME,
output_dir_path=env['MOZ_UPLOAD_DIR']
)
# Get complete PERFHERDER_DATA
perfherder_data = mp.get_full_perfherder_data('raptor')
```
All the possible known errors that can occur are also provided
at the top-level of the module.
```python
from mozpower import MozPower, IPGExecutableMissingError, OsCpuComboMissingError
try:
mp = MozPower(ipg_measure_duration=600, sampling_rate=1000)
except IPGExecutableMissingError as e:
pass
except OsCpuComboMissingError as e:
pass
```
```{eval-rst}
.. automodule:: mozpower
```

## MozPower Interface
The following class provides a basic interface to interact with the
power measurement tools that have been implemented. The tool used
to measure power depends on the OS and CPU combination, i.e. Intel-based
MacOS machines would use Intel Power Gadget, while ARM64-based Windows
machines would use the native Windows tool powercfg.
