Specifies the level of each current, voltage, power, or resistance point in a constant-dwell Arb.
You can only program one constant-dwell Arb type at a time, so setting the current CD Arb resets the
voltage, power, and resistance Arbs to 1 point at the minimum value. A comma-delimited list of up to
65,535 points may be programmed.
Parameter Typical Return
Current: 0 - maximum
Voltage: 0 - maximum
Power: 0 - maximum
Resistance: 0 - maximum
Values are range and module-rating dependent.
*RST 1 point setto the minimum value.

l For better performance, the list of points can be sent as a definite length binary block instead of an
ASCII list.
l The return format depends on the settings of the FORMat:BORDer and FORMat[:DATA] com-
mands. When the data format is set to ASCII, returned values are comma separated. Only one
channel can be queried when the format is ASCII. When the data format is set to REAL, data is
returned as single precision floating point numbers in definite length arbitrary block response
format. Each block contains all the records for one of the channels given in the <chanlist> para-
meter. If multiple channels are given, then each definite length arbitrary block of data is separated
by a comma.
