Meter and Shunt Wiring Question

Thanks for the good explanation. I was able to get it to read volts but it showed "0" for amps trying it every which way. But also my test set-up may have been wrong.

I don't know how many amps it should have said with the set-up I had to be able to use RJ's advice on that either. I will be using it to measure charging amps between say 156 amps down to about 20 amps. Other than that it would be for as a voltmeter.

I need to set up a better test. It is getting dark, so I will get back to it tomorrow.

At least now I know what to try.
