Zhangkun with today's really low voltage CMOS devices, and a board that 
doesn't have much in the way of resistors across the rails, a meter will 
charge up the power supply to the point that the transistors start going 
into the linear region.    A supply with a variable current limit and an 
Ammeter is really a better way to go.
