I'm currently using the Pic18F26K40 and it has a windowed Watch Dog Timer.
To Quote from the datasheet,
What does this mean? A WDT, by definition is a windowed device - if you don't clear it within the specified time a reset occurs. What is this window?
I just want the WDT to reset the device if I don't "kick the dog" within 0.25 seconds. They talk about the "Window" being open/closed - I just want it off - is that open or closed?
Thanks,
Mike.
To Quote from the datasheet,
The Windowed Watchdog Timer has an optional Windowed mode that is controlled by the WDTCWS
Configuration bits and WINDOW bits. In the Windowed mode, the CLRWDT instruction must occur within
the allowed window of the WDT period. Any CLRWDT instruction that occurs outside of this window will
trigger a window violation and will cause a WWDT Reset, similar to a WWDT time out.
