B.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer
To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes I/
O port address 440 (hex). The output data is a time interval value. The
value range is from 01 (hex) to 3F (hex), and the related time interval is
from 1 sec. to 63 sec.

3F 63 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewrit-
ing the I/O port 440 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want
to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 440
(hex).
The following example shows how you might program the watchdog
timer :
