current draw is measured in amps. Not all multimeters have an amp
setting. To measure amps, you need to break the circuit upon which you
will measure the amps. Then you "reconnect" the circuit by inserting
the two probes of the ampmeter, one to one side of the circuit, and
the other to the other side of the circuit.
