Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer 101
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by
rewriting I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you
want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port
443 (hex).
The following example shows how you might program the watchdog
timer in BASIC:
10 REM Watchdog timer example program
20 OUT &H443, data REM Start and restart the watchdog
30 GOSUB 1000 REM Your application task #1,
40 OUT &H443, data REM Reset the timer
50 GOSUB 2000 REM Your application task #2,
60 OUT &H443, data REM Reset the timer
70 X=INP (&H443) REM Disable the watchdog timer
