n is the sector number within the log. The first sector is sector zero
This log is viewed as a circular buffer. The first entry will begin at byte 4, the second entry will begin at byte 30
and so on until the nineteen entry, that will replace the first entry. Then, the twenty entry will replace the
second entry, and so on. If fewer than 18 self-tests have been performed by the device, the unused descriptor
entries will be filled with zeroes.
10.8.43.3.1 Self-test descriptor index
The Self-test descriptor index indicates the most recent self-test descriptor. If there have been no self-tests, the
Self-test descriptor index is set to zero. Valid values for the Self-test descriptor index are zero to 18.
10.8.43.3.2 Self-test log data structure revision number
The value of the self-test log data structure revision number is 01h.
