Figure 132. Self-test log data structure
The data structure contains the descriptor of the Self-test that the device has performed. Each descriptor
is 24 bytes long and the self-test data structure is capable to contain up to 21 descriptors.
After 21 descriptors has been recorded, the oldest descriptor will be overwritten with the new descriptor.
The self-test log pointer points to the most recent descriptor. When there is no descriptor, the value is 0.
When there are descriptor(s), the value is 1 through 21.
