9.4 Extending the Run-Time of the MainProtocol
A third reason you might want to use Protocol Linking is to extend the running of the MainProtocol. For
M-series boards, there is currently a limitation of running the MainProtocol more than 14 hrs and 54 min
(Appendix B.2). This is due to an overflow of a 32-bit signed integer which should be a 64-bit integer, and
there is a fix scheduled, but it is definitely not immediate.
An solution analgous to the one in Fig. 9.3.1. will solve the problem.
