4.4 Watch dog
In the unlikely event that the software in LDS 6 should crash it will reboot with the help of a watch
dog. The instrument will be down for approximately 3 minutes if this should happen and then
measure normally again. It is very unusual that this should happen but if it does the watchdog
prevents the system from going down and stay down.
