[:SOUR[c]]:CURR:POIN? [DEFault|M
INimum|MAXimum]
[:SOUR[c]]:VOLT:POIN? [DEFault|M
INimum|MAXimum]
Sets the number of sweep steps for the 
current or voltage sweep output.

1
 to 2500
The points value can be expressed by the 
following formula, using the step value 
set by the 
[:SOUR[c]]:<CURR|VOLT>:STEP 
command and the span value set by the 
[:SOUR[c]]:<CURR|VOLT>:SPAN 
command. 
points = span/step + 1 (where step is not 
0)
points=1 sets step=0.
