This command initiates a selftest of the API429 Hardware. The selftest result is
reported as part of the acknowledge information. After a SELFTEST command the
currently active board setups are lost, due to the performed RAM Test. Therefore
the API429 system has to be restarted again using the RESET command.
Note: the time source will be set to ‘internal’ during the self test
