The name of the string; the key of the key-value pair
value
The string to associate with

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))
