Please restate the question. Are you asking if you as a student should have awareness of what TENS versus NMES versus Interferential versus neuroprobe feels like before trying it on a patient? Are you asking if you need to test the unit before every application?

Consider why a PT would use electro, usually for either pain relief or muscle activation. If it is uncomfortable for you as a PT, what's the point of applying it to a patient for pain reduction?
