that is correct David...   but I wouldnt say accurately measure...
analog meters are usually +/- 5% error at best, some even as bad as 20% error.

be sure to get a meter marked for the proper type of current being 
measured...   be it AC or DC....   I found out the hard way that it does 
make a difference.
