You can write a sysex file that can be written to the device.

Again I have to note though that this is just an example implementation
of the sysex format that contains no checking. It would be nice if
someone figured out the configuration format details, implemented
valididy checking, wrote a nice GUI, and implemented direct read
from/write to device functionality. But as I already mentioned, that
someone isn't going to be me ;)
