1PPS Output
In this function, the pin pulses for 50 milliseconds to signal the precise second. The
1PPS line starts pulsing approximately 100 milliseconds after power up and always
fires irrespective of whether Spatial has accurate time or not. It is important to note
that when Spatial acquires time corrections from its GNSS receiver, the 1PPS signal
may fire at an interval of less than 1 second. This typically only occurs the first time
the GNSS receiver obtains a fix after startup. The time initialised status flag can be
used to determine whether the time and 1PPS line is accurate or not.

GNSS Fix Output
In this function, the pin is low when there is no GNSS fix or a 2D fix and high when
there is a 3D, SBAS, Differential or RTK GNSS fix.
