3.2.3.4 WatchDog timer
It is important in industrial applications that the control systems are rarely
crashed, or are capable of self-reset if they are halted somehow. The
watchdog timer is therefore used in the PCM-7130 to provide automatic
reset. There is a timer inside the watchdog timer. The PCM-7130 should
clear the timer within a pre-set time interval periodically. If the timer was
not cleared, the timer would assume the system to be halted and generate
a reset. The watchdog timer in the PCM-7130 provides eight different
time intervals: 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds,
2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Choose the appropriate time inter-
val, and then press "Enable" button to enable the watchdog function. The
"REBOOT" button provide the warm boot function to reboot the device.
Note: 1. VGA TFT LCD and CRT display is the default
setting of the PCM-7130. This will facilitate users
to develop AP or products if the LCD has not
been determined. However, it is recommend to
change the display mode because 8 bpp color
depth may not be appreciated for most users.
2. As new display mode is set, the PCM-7130
takes reset or reboot to activate new setting.
