Just connect the two input wires (green & blue) in series with the "negative" wire from the PS to the Laser tube Negative side. Make sure not connect it to the HV side or it will blow.

Yes, you can use both Analog and Digital together. Just hook the meters in series and both meter will read

You need to put two meters in "series", not in parallel.
if you put two meter in parallel, you will see "half" current.

Should do it in series Tube(Neg) -----[+ Amp1 -] ----[+ Amp2 -] ------ PS Negative
