Alternator Amp test

You need a tester with a inductive amp clamp. (pickup) They are available as a accessory for a quality DVOM (digital volt/ohm meter) or as a stand alone meter like this.

So I assume you clamp around the alt output wire?
Is there a specific RPM or time (first start up in morning) to do this test?
Sorry for my electrical ignorance..
Thanks.
