Default Measured current draw, PowerFlarm Brick

PF manual does not list typical power consumption. Because PowerFlarm
can supply power to other devices, this is a variable figure. The
manual says only "up to 1.2 Watts", or 1 amp at 12V. That's rather a
lot, so I decided to check. My PF brick is connected to a Butterfly
57mm flarm panel display and ClearNav (via serial port). I measure
170 mA at 12.4 VDC, which is reassuringly small.
