    Appendix A Watchdog Timer There is a built-in watchdog timer in the TPC-66 series. You can access it through the WIN32 API. TPC-66 panel computers provide a WDT driver to allow users to enable/disable the Watchdog timer. The driver name is “WDT1:”.
  • Page 61 • lpInBuffer [in] Long pointer to a buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation. This parameter can be NULL if the dwIoControlCode parameter specifies an operation that does not require input data. • nInBufferSize [in] Size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpInBuffer. •...

  • Page 62: A.2.1

    A.2 How to Use the Control Code There are 6 control codes for the operation codes in the WDT driver. A.2.1 IOCTL _WDT_ENABLE: Enables the Watchdog timer on your application. By default, if the Watchdog timer is enabled, the WDT driver will automatically trigger itself after the specified period and your application does not need to trig- ger the Watchdog timer in this situation.

    A.2.4 IOCTL_WDT_GETTIMEOUT: Gets the Watchdog time setting. lpInBuffer: unused. nInBufferSize: unused. lpOutBuffer: The DWORD pointer to your Watchdog time setting. The Watchdog time setting is just a number. 0 means 2 seconds, 1 means 5 seconds, 2 means 10 seconds, 3 means 15 seconds, 4 means 30 seconds, others means 40 seconds.
