Hamish,
Does this responder actually expect the controller to initiate the self tests?

If the test PD's are documented in the manual, I guess you could build them into your controller, but it sucks and goes totally against the grain of RDM.

Personally, I wouldn't lose sleep over this. If a responder manufacturer includes self tests, but chooses not to allow the controller to find them by including SELF_TEST_DESCRIPTION, then I would assume they are not for general use.
