2.2.3 System Reset
A WDT (watchdog timer) is a hardware mechanism resetting the system when
the operating system or application is halted. A typical usage of WDT is to start
the timers and periodically reset the timer, and when timer is expired, the
system resets.
When a system reset is carried out, only the Radar software is re- initialized;
the transceiver remains active.
The display turns dark briefly and the system is re- initialized. The Radar
display appears with the following basic settings.
After any restart, the Radar display unit makes certain basic settings.
These include:
− TUNE in AUTO mode
− GAIN in center position
− SEA in 0 position
− RAIN in 0 position
− FTC in 0 position
− DIMMER in max. position
− Range in 6 NM
− Vector at 6.0 min
2.2.4 Monitor Status Indicator
The Radar monitor is equipped with a status LED. The status LED is located in
the lower right on the front of the monitor (Figure 2-8).
