I dont rmember you saying how quickly the spikes repeat. If it many
times per second, all you need is an analogue meter, problem solved. MC
meters read average current.

It varies from a few hundred Hz to a few 10s of kHz throughout the
experiment. The analogue meter is a fine idea, but would require manual
number-taking, which I'm trying to avoid (average I doesn't stay
constant, and I need to calculate total energy).
