You could always put a cheap DVM across the shunt. (Assuming the
Xantrex XBM uses an external shunt). Of course you would have to
multiply all the values by some factor to get the real amp value, but
you could probably make a little translation table card and keep it in
the tool box with the cheap DVM.
