Note 1: This command will store the ECAM table values in non-volatile EEPROM memory.
Note 2: This command may cause the Galil software to issue the following warning "A time-out occurred
while waiting for a response from the controller". This warning is normal and is designed to warn the user
when the controller does not respond to a command within the timeout period. This occurs because this
command takes more time than the default timeout of 5 sec. The timeout can be changed in the Galil
software but this warning does not affect the operation of the controller or software.
