derived from the task data and the user has to carefully select the right one (make sure that the
product quantity is correct, for example kg/ha).

Device function rate control mode can be selected from three options:
-Automatic
-Fixed
-Off
Automatic mode is intended to be used when the product has a variable rate map available.
Fixed mode can be used so that the control value is set below (the device will control the whole
field with this value). Off mode is intended for the situations where the user wants to adjust the
rate manually from the universal terminal UI.
