5.3.3 Watchdog Timer Enable Flag (WDTM)
WDTM, when set, is a flag for enabling the generation of the reset signal when the basic interval timer
overflows. WDTM is set by a bit manipulation instruction. It cannot be cleared by an instruction.
Example Set the watchdog timer function.
SEL
SET1 WDTM
SET1 BTM.3
The generation of a RESET signal clears WDTM to 0.

5.3.4 Operation of the Basic Interval Timer
When WDTM is set to 0, the basic interval timer (BT) functions as an interval timer. An interrupt request
flag (IRQBT) is set when the timer overflows. BT is constantly incremented by the clock supplied from the
clock generator. So it is impossible to stop the timer from incrementing.
One of four interrupt generation intervals can be selected by setting BTM. (See Figure 5-24.)
BT and IRQBT can be cleared by setting bit 3 of BTM to 1 (instruction for starting as an interval timer).
The count status of BT can be read by an 8-bit manipulation instruction. No data can be loaded to the timer.
Perform the timer operation as follows (<1> and <2> can be performed with the same instruction):
<1> Set the interval in BTM.
<2> Set 1 in bit 3 of BTM.
Example Generate an interrupt at intervals of 1.37 ms (at 6.00 MHz).
