The name of the string; the key of the key-value pair

Details
This function associates the string value with the string name and stores this key-value pair in
nonvolatile memory.
Use the userstring.get() function to retrieve the value associated with the specified name.
You can use the userstring functions to store custom, instrument-specific information in the
instrument, such as department number, asset number, or manufacturing plant location.
Example
userstring.add("assetnumber", "236")
userstring.add("product", "Widgets")
userstring.add("contact", "John Doe")
for name in userstring.catalog() do
print(name .. " = " ..
userstring.get(name))
end
Stores user-defined strings in nonvolatile
memory and recalls them from the
instrument using a for loop.
Example output:
assetnumber = 236
contact = John Doe
product = Widgets
