A.1 Watchdog Timer (WDT) Function Reference
This appendix describes the usage of the watchdog timer (WDT)
function library for the MXE-1005/1010/1020 controller. Watchdog
timer is a hardware mechanism to reset the system in case the
operating system or an application halts. After starting watchdog
timer, you need to periodically reset the watchdog timer in the
application before the timer expires. Once watchdog timer expires,
a hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.
To use the WDT function library for MXE-1000 series, you need to
include the header file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib in your
C++ project.
