On Raspberrypi, the command vcgencmd measure_volts gives the voltage. Is there a way to measure the current being drawn by the Raspberry Pi at a particular time? I have a requirement of measuring energy consumption of RaspberryPi, but do not find any software tool to do so.

You can't measure it without including external test equipment between your power supply and your RPi.– DougieJul 19, 2020 at 11:27

AFAIK, there is no RPi equipped with any facility to measure its own current. I bought this device recently which meets most of my needs. There are many similar products, so review the specs to learn which one works best for you.

Will we be able to read the USB C Power Meter Tester energy consumption readings through programs, say python program at run time? Jul 25, 2020 at 21:43

@SAROJPANDA: I don't know the answer to that question. I suspect that's not supported, but I do not know that for a fact. Check with the manufacturer - or ask a question of the seller on Amazon's product page (referenced in my answer).– SeamusJul 26, 2020 at 0:10
