Instructs the program to start editing a NEW (as yet un-named) serial number file. It will throw
away the information for any serial number currently being edited unless that information has been
saved (Save Button). The new serial number is initialized with one (1) byte of binary.
13.2.8
SAVE
Instructs the program to save the current serial number being edited into the file name and path
shown in the Serial Number File window. If a file name has not been provided, i.e. the window
shows None Selected, then an error is displayed in a red window on the screen. If this happens,
type in a filename in the window and click Save again.

1. Currently editing file C:\Example.ser
2. Number of bytes in the serial number is 10 Hex (= 16 base ten)
3. Starting address is 0000000 Hex
4. Next Serial number is AAA-P&E-9999 in ASCII
