to see current waveform in multisim

Is it possible to show current waveforms in Multisim? If it is possible, how do you do it?
 

how to view current waveform multisim

Could you monitor current using a low value R and then just do the math?

For example, let's say you had 200mA flowing into a load. You could add a series 1Ω, and then the voltage drop would be

V = IR = 200mA*(1) = 200mV

When you see 200mV on your meter, you'd know you have 200mA flowing.

But, since you want a waveform on the scope, is there a math function on the scope? You could place Input A on the hgh side of R, Input B on the low side of R, and then display the difference voltage of the two, vA-vB, the voltage drop across R. This would give you a trace that changed with current draw. Still you wouldn't see amps, but you could just read the voltage as amps.
