HART Command
This one-byte field specifies the HART command that is to be sent by the
Smart Transmitter Interface to the field device. Many commands are
device dependent. Table 4.B lists some universal commands supported by
all field devices. Consult the documentation provided with the device for
details. Set this field to a device recognizable command before sending the
packet to the Smart Transmitter Interface.
