  • Page 49: A Appendix: Watchdog Timer (Wdt)

    MXE-1400 Series Appendix A Watchdog Timer (WDT) & DI/O Function Libraries This appendix describes use of the watchdog timer (WDT) func- tion library for the MXE-1400. The watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism provided to reset the system if the operating system or an application stalls. After starting, the watchdog timer in the application must be periodically reset before the timer expires.

  • Page 50: Setwdt

    SetWDT Sets the timeout value of the watchdog timer. There are two parameters for this function to indicate the timeout ticks and unit. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expi- ration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset. @ Syntax C/C++ BOOL SetWDT(BYTE tick, BYTE unit)
  • Page 51 MXE-1400 Series BOOL StartWDT() @ Parameters None @ Return codes TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully started. FALSE if watchdog timer is failed to start. ResetWDT Resets the watchdog timer. The invocation of ResetWDT allows restoration of the watchdog timer to the initial timeout value specified in SetWDT function.

  • Page 52: Di/O With Api/Windows

    FALSE if watchdog timer fails to stop. A.2 DI/O with API/Windows Matrix DI/O API library files and a demo program (incl. source code) are located on the included driver CD or downloaded from http://www.adlinktech.com. To use the DI/O function library for MXE-1400 series, include the header file matrix_dio.h and linkage library matrix_dio.lib in the C++ project.
