Self-loop Test
This is a signal test for communications through the CN1, MJ1 or MJ2 connector.  Perform 
this test if the communication is not successful when transferring screen data through MJ1, 
connecting the PLC using CN1, or selecting multi-link 2, temperature controller/PLC2Way 
or PLC for MJ1/2, or connecting the card recorder or serial extension I/O.
