Watchdog timer configurationon

An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the control software (refer to Appendix A).

Watchdog select (J14)

When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ11. This can be set via setting J14 as shown below:

Watchdog select

	*System reset	IRQ11

	2	2
	3	3

For information on programming the watchdog timer, see Appendix A.
