Current Measurement on Cyclone 10 GX Development Kit

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, I am studying how the Current Measurement was done on the Cyclone 10GX Development kit. I'm looking at the schematics page 38 and I don't understand what the Sense Pad V1 is and I don't see it on the BOM list. If anyone is familiar with this measurement please let me know the purpose of the SENSE PAD and how would one put it on a design? 

 Thanks, Joe

SENSE PAD here may be used for probing or act as a cuttable trace or to place a component for experimenting. 2. Sense lines are high impedance lines because of which we can get accurate measurements.  Previous Thread https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42226  Hope it helps you.  Best Regards, Anand Raj Shankar (This message was posted on behalf of Intel Corporation)
