Configuration Packets

Configuration packets can be both read from and written to the Subsonus. On many of the configuration packets the first byte is a permanent flag. A zero in this field indicates that the settings will be lost on reset, a one indicates that they will be permanent (i.e. stored in flash).

Note: The number of configuration packets with the permanent flag set to high should be minimised to reduce the risk of exhausting the flash cycles.
