Yes. If the DC voltage drops when you tell the motors to move, then
it is not capable of enough current. But, that is not your problem, I'm
sure!

If it has an amps mode (cheap ones don't go up to 10 A, they just do
mA) you can put it in series with the DC supply line. But, don't put it
in series with the motor winding outputs of the Gecko. The chopped
power pulses will drive most meters nuts.
