For measuring currents you have to disconnect one of the wires that carries the current and connect it to the multimeter. Then a different wire connects the multimeter to where the first wire was disconnected to close the loop. Also make sure you use the right connectors on the multimeter and not the standard voltage connectors.
If I was to do this on the EQ6 I would probably measure current in between the power supply and the EQ6. The wiring would, for example, go like this:
1. +ve from the power supply goes to one of the multimeter current connectors
2. The other multimeter current connector goes to the +ve input on the mount.
3. The ground (-ve) goes like it did before.
The more accurate way would be to tap directly into the motor wiring but that is way more difficult. The above method would measure the total current used by the mount, which is basically the motors. You should use only one motor at the time during the measurement, otherwise the total current won't tell you which motor is using what.
