Cmd Status – The status for the last command request. This field is used to determine
whether the last request was processed successfully. It is also used to track the progress
of a multi-stage request, such as calibration. The Status Request does not affect the
contents of this field, i.e., successful/unsuccessful processing of a previous status request
does not cause the command status field to be updated.
