13. Measure PE Option
(not available on all instruments)
Some PAT testing practices allows the Protective Earth bond testing to be skipped if it is deem impossible to access an exposed PE contact
area. For PAT testers configured to allow for such situation there is a “Measure PE Option” checkbox made available in the Expert

hotkey to appear. User must press the hotkey
to save the new status of the checkbox.
