Hello.

I am curious about the power consumption of the LSM6DS3. 

The LSM6DS3 can set ODR independently.

However, the power consumption when the ODR is set independently is not listed in the Application note.

Only <Accelerometer only>, <Gyroscope only> and <Combo [Acc + Gyro]> are shown in Table 6.

I wonder how I can calculate it.

If the Accelerometer's ODR is set to 208Hz and the Gyroscope's ODR is 

set to 

25Hz,

how much power does the sensor consume?

I'm sorry, I'm not able to provide the current consumption for all combination of  acceleromter and gyroscope ODRs.

But I think you can roughly estimate it from the mentioned table. If you provide me your configuration (Vcc, ODRs, accel. mode) I can also measure it on some sample.
