Mr Driver, Thanks for answering so many questions it really is appreciated.
I was more trying to see if if there was a self test of the STS system including MCAS (short of moving the vanes).
Obviously it would be preferable to know such things prior to take-off and or 400ft including that pesky stick shaker.
Should an AoA disagree (more than 5 degrees) MCAS can not function, so (and I am aware you stated you would not put them up) is flight with flaps up prohibited?
Did the brief include the conditions of MCAS override by the pilot/s and rest limits?
