Watchdog Timer (WDT) Function Library 77MXC-6000Appendix D: Watchdog Timer (WDT)Function LibraryThis appendix describes use of the watchdog timer (WDT) func-tion library for the MXC-6000 controller. The watchdog timer is ahardware mechanism provided to reset the system if the operatingsystem or an application stalls. After starting, the watchdog timerin the application must be periodically reset before the timerexpires. Once the watchdog timer expires, a hardware-generatedsignal is sent to reset the system.D.1 WDT with API/WindowsMatrix WDT API library files and a demo program (incl. sourcecode) can be found on the included driver CD or downloaded fromhttp://www.adlinktech.com.To use the WDT function library for MXC-6000 series, include theheader file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib in the C++ project.InitWDT@ DescriptionInitialize the watchdog timer function of MXC-6000 controller.InitWDT must be called before the invocation of any other WDTfunction.@ Supported controllersMXC-6000@ SyntaxC/C++BOOL InitWDT()@ ParametersNone@ Return codeTRUE if watchdog timer is successfully initialized.FALSE if watchdog timer fails to initialize.
