Something I do when I need to measure current when there isn’t a convenient location to measure voltage, is to break the path and install a 1 ohm 2W carbon resistor. The voltage measured across it is the actual current when calculated with ohms law. So .01V is 10 Ma.
Yes it requires a little work, but you’ll have a quick way to test.
I have a small project box inserted between my variac and DUT. It has a receptacle, 1 ohm 25W resistor, and test points across the resistor and receptacle for easy measurements.
Hopefully this is helpful.
