Object

scalar r/w Enumeration 
Setting this object initiates the requested Test.
The test types which a UPS might support are 'testBattery', 
'testSystem' (a UPS General Systems test, however defined by the UPS), 
'testSecondarySource' (test if the Secondary power source is good on a 
dual input UPS), and 
'flashLightsTest' (start a test which flashes the UPS lights, and if 
available, sounds the horn to help locate the UPS).
If a UPS does not support the requested test, the set operation may 
succeed but the xupsTestBatteryStatus will end up as notSupported.
When read, this object indicates the last test requested via this object, 
if any; 'noTestStarted' could be the initial value.
Currently only the 'flashLightsTest' can be canceled with 'cancelTest'.
