STRPUTB - Put Bytes Into a String
The Put Bytes Into a String (STRPUTB) instruction will copy bytes of data from memory locations in the controller and place them in the specified String.
This instruction is not intended to operate on Strings containing ASCII text. The primary use of this instruction - and its companion instruction Get Bytes Out of a String (STRGETB) - is in creating protocol drivers, where the data is not ASCII text but 16-bit, or 32-bit, or floating point numbers.

Length in Bytes - designates the total number of bytes of data to copy and place in the string. This can be any readable numeric location or a constant value from 1 to the maximum number of bytes available in the string.
From Starting Element - designates the first location in the controller where the bytes of data are copied from. This can be any readable numeric location.
