I actually have the Uni-T UT201E clamp meter. I think it's the best low-cost clamp meter on the market.
However, for my specific application, I would like to observe the battery drain on my vehicle overnight. The drain will change when the alarm is turned on, then it will change again after some post engine-shutoff processes complete. It's not an instantaneous measurement, but occurs over a period of time.
My vehicle has an alarm switch on the hood (engine bonnet). So I can't even turn on the alarm unless the hood is closed. One workaround is to disconnect/short the alarm switch on the hood, but that involves a burdensome removal of the grill and headlamp to reach the switch.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Well, the UT210E can be modded in order to have an analog output.
Just be careful because in this way you can have some exposed connector and the meter will not be insulated anymore.
Here some info:

I don't know much about this mod. Maybe is better to do some research first.

Currently(!) looking for something like this myself. Found the Prova CM-05, which looks promising, if a bit bulky, and can be found <£100 - anyone have opinion/experience of these current probes?
screwbreaker:
They look very similar to the KILTER CP-05:

That is a very interesting probe, especially for the bandwidth. However, the noise floor is a bit high for low power electronic circuits (20mA). Still a very interesting choice.
