Another amateur with questions, LT-F562B parallel circuit.

Hey Chaps,
Another new person to DIY lightings systems here. I was wondering if you can awnser a few questions that I have mostly around drivers. Firstly though, thank you for all putting your knowledge in one place, this site and your discussion have been a huge help.
I'm basically planning to run 2 seperate small parralel circuits consisting of 6 x LT-F562B coupled with a HLG-150H-24A driver. I hope this arrangment is OK, they will be running at 50%, or in some instances ~30%, roughly as low as permitted by this driver.
I understand they opperate in CV mode untill the maximum current is reached, but does this include changes to the potentiometer, I.e. If I drop the current to 5A, would that be the new maximum for when it switches to CC mode?
Secondly, when you drop the current, I'm aware the voltage requirment change according to the I/V cure. So assuming the above is incorrect, do you have to adjust the voltage each time? If so, is it best to disconnect components?
Finally, and sorry if this sounds really stupid, but how do set the voltage with a multimeter before wiring any lights into the circuit? Is it simply making a loop? lol
I hope all the questions are not an issue, Cheers!
