2.3  Storing configuration settings 
ZED-F9R is fully configurable with UBX configuration interface messages. The configuration 
database in the receiver's RAM holds the current configuration that is used by the receiver at run-
time. It is constructed on start-up of the receiver from several sources of configuration. The 
configuration interface and the available keys are described in the F9 HPS 1.30 Interface description 
[2].
