that's a little insulting Klaus. I have checked it with two manuals, and it seems to me that even a cheap digital meter will measure AC amps. However, I have a technical, professional and well known resource in front of me, that states that is not the case. So, I am after confirmation, one way or the other.
So the "resource" says, it can't be that the cheap meters measure AC current although they claim?
If the multimeters have AC voltage and DC current measurement capability, there's nothing special about measuring AC current as well. They measure AC current with the same shunt as used for DC.
The more interesting question is, how they measure AC, voltage and current. Can be true RMS (unlikely for cheap devices) or average rectified value, scaled to RMS.
In any case, read the datasheets, come back with doubts remaining thereafter.
In your post you don't give exact nor verifiable informations, you just ask a random question.
You don't give details about the meter you use and you don't give details about what you have done so far.
My post was not meant to be insulting..
We simply have no chance to verify your informations, nor do we have a chance to give an exact answer.

Let me translate your informations to non technical questions:
Then ask yourself if/how it can be answered:

does the average meal taste sweet?
and how does it do that?
does an european meal taste sweet?
I have checked it with two receipts, and it seems to me that even a cheap meal tastes sweet. However, I have a technical, professional and well known resource in front of me, that states that is not the case. So, I am after confirmation, one way or the other.
