A settings string that is stored by the controller can, of course, be modified. Use
the appropriate string manipulation commands in the controller language to
search for, modify, or replace parts of the string. Be sure that the resulting string
meets the syntax requirements of the 21 individual commands making up the
whole and that they are in the proper sequence. See the 370B GPIB COM-
MANDS portion of this section for details.
To save the current front panel setting in the mass storage, choose an appropriate
setting storage location number of 1 through 70, then send the command SAVe
<number>, where <number> identifies the setting storage location.
