Volt meter? Inline? To measure current? Huh?

Yeah, stupid me. I mean multimeter.


Hmmm. You have a multi-meter that'll directly measure more than a few

Ho-hum....A 10 Amp range is not unusual in a digital MM
But a power scale is rather unusual - except the dB scale that makes
some load presumptions - that you may be referring to?
