Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

The most useful instruments would be a DigitalMultiMeter [DMM], and a DC-AC clamp type current meter. I would not necessarily opt for a computer measurement system, unless logging was required.

Assuming you want to drink a coffee and watch your creation run from the comfort of indoors without cables running everywhere, try LINK
You can watch AND control with these babies and the rest is up to your imagination as far as improving/modifying the items on sale in the link above.
