This is the second time in this thread that this question came up as someone explained the way that they do it, but I hope that we can get some elaboration on what I have heard is a very critical measurement on these old color sets. I don't think that you are going to measure voltage, but I may be wrong. I think that it is a current measurement. With that being said, people using "amp clamp" meters could do this much differently than those using any other meter which must be connected in series with the circuit in question. Either way, a remote way of keeping an eye on this is highly beneficial.
Also, I have read that it is a good upgrade to install a fuse in this same circuit to avoid the evident damage that can be caused by something going wrong. So, if we can get specifics on the voltage or current measurement on which section (plate, cathode, grid), as well as some ideas on a good fuse size, I think that it would help a lot of the growing crowd of vintage color TV hobbyists.
