It was requested after excessive confusion was encountered during intensive testing. It will cause a comment with the file name to be inserted in the VEX file $TRACKS section.

• Options: If you have to ask, don't try to use this parameter
• Default: Blank
• Usage: Kept for each setup group specified for the setup file.
• Example: firmfile = 'DDCxy7872203'
