Command Packet 0x8E-4C: Write Configuration Segment to NVS
This command packet causes the current configuration settings for the specified user
segment (or all segments) to be written to NVS. The segment ID is contained in a data
byte.
Command Packet 0x8E-4E: Set PPS output option
This command packet sets the PPS driver switch to one of the values listed below. The
current driver switch value can be requested by sending the packet with no data bytes
except the subcode byte.
Driver switch values 3 and 4 only make sense in Over-Determined Timing mode. In any
position fix mode the effective choices are always on or during fixes which you get if
you set the driver switch to 3 or 4.
ThunderBolt E can also be configured to generate an Even Second pulse in place of the
PPS pulse by setting the value as shown in the table below.
