Humm....I've made a mess at 43 millivolts and currents so low I can't measure them. [took a while]

  What would you guess,  a few micro amps ?

Small Measurements

A research person, former NASA scientist, wants me to datalog
some current and wattage outputs from some oddball devices.

The current will be a few ma at most.

Most of my input modules have a 0 to 5 volt range. I may be able to set it lower as they are relatively sophisticated and can be configured with software, ......... if you communicate with them.
( RS-485 communications )

I thought of using the Meter shunt principle to get some voltage reading, and then use the software to change this to watts, and then write the data files.

I use a 10,000 line C program that can do anything imaginable.

Was thinking  1 % resistors would be OK.

Don't want to buy genuine meter shunts of course. I think I could make them, if I wanted to do so. They are relatively simple as you know. But 1 % resistors are cheap and readily available.

Ode, Dan, or anyone else that has ideas....... please tell me

Wayne
