I need to measure the current flow into my boost converter circuit. I use Keysight power supply model E3648A, it has sense terminal (s+ and s-). Can I use the sense terminal to measure voltage drop over the sense resistor?

Thx
 

I suggest you look at the manual.

usually the sense terminals of a power supply are for remote sensing of the power supply output voltage

using them makes the supply output voltage correct at the sense location, instead of at the
outputs on the physical machine.
 

Reversed sense leads – on most power supplies, the output voltage will rapidly ... and draws about 10% of rated output current to reduce the output voltage. ... For example, the Keysight N678xA models use a series regulator.
