Appendix A Using WDT & DIO
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) function ensures reliable system operation. The WDT is a
hardware mechanism to reset the system if the watchdog timer expires. Users can start the
WDT and keep resetting the timer to make sure the system or program is running. Otherwise,
the system shall be reset.
In this section, we’ll illustrate how to use the function library provided by Neousys to program
the WDT functions. Currently, WDT driver library supports Windows 7/ 8.1/ 10 32-bit and
64-bit versions. For other OS support, please contact Neousys Technology for further
information.
Installing WDT_DIO Library
The WDT_DIO function library is delivered in the form of a setup package named
WDT_DIO_Setup.exe
. Prior to programming WDT, you should execute the setup program
and install the WDT library. Please use the following WDT_DIO_Setup packages according
to your operating systems and application.
- For Windows 10 64-bit OS with 64-bit application (x64 mode), please install
WDT_DIO_Setup_v2.3.0.0(x64).exe or later version.
- For Windows 10 64-bit OS with 32-bit application (WOW64 mode), please install
