Matrix WDT API library files and a demo program (incl. source code) can be found on the included driver CD or downloaded from http://www.adlinktech.com. To use the WDT function library for MXE-1300 series, include the header file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib in the C++ project. InitWDT Initializes watchdog timer function of MXE-1300.
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 57
MXE-1300 @ 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.
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.
