2.4Cooling Considerations
Heat-generating components of the MXE-200 (such as CPU and
PCH) are all situated on the left side of the syste m . T he se co mp o nents directly contact the heat sink via thermal pads and dissipate
heat generated by the components. To maximize effici ency of h eat
dissipation, maintain a minimum of 2 inches (5 cm) clearance on
the top of the MXE-200.

Appendix A Watchdog Timer (WDT) &
DI/O Function Libraries
This appendix describes use of the watchdog timer (WDT) function library for the MXE-200.
The watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism provided to reset
the system if the operating system or an application stalls. After
starting, the watchdog timer in the application must be periodically
reset before the timer expires. Once the watchdog timer expires, a
hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.
DI/O provides input/output to support inter-device communications. Simple programming guides allow easy transmission of digital signals between the system and attached peripherals.
A.1 WDT with API/Windows
Matrix WDT API library files and a demo program (incl. source
code) can be found on the included driver CD or downloaded from
http://www.adlinktech.com.
To use the WDT function library for MXE-200 series, include the
header file matrix_wdt.h and linkage library matrix_wdt.lib in the
C++ project.
MXE-200
InitWDT
Initializes watchdog timer function of MXE-200. InitWDT must
be called before the invocation of any other WDT function.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL InitWDT()
@ Parameters
None
@ Return code
TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully initialized.
FALSE if watchdog timer fails to initialize.
Watchdog Timer (WDT) & DI/O Function Libraries 33
Page 48
SetWDT
Sets the timeout value of the watchdog timer. There are two
parameters for this function to indicate the timeout ticks and
unit. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL SetWDT(BYTE tick, BYTE unit)
@ Parameters
tick
Specify the number of ticks for watchdog time r. A valid value
is 1 - 255.
unit
Specify the timeout ticks of the watchdog timer.
ValueDescription
The unit for one tick is one second. For example, when one
0
tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 0, the timeout value is
100 seconds.
The unit for one tick is one minute. For example, whenone
1
tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 1, the timeout value is
100 minutes.
@ Return codes
TRUE if timeout value of watchdog timer is successfully set.
FALSE if timeout value of watchdog timer is failed to set.
StartWDT
Starts watchdog timer function. Once the StartWDT is invoked,
the watchdog timer starts. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be
called before the expiration of watch dog timer, or the system
will reset.
@ Syntax
C/C++

Page 49
BOOL StartWDT()
@ Parameters
None
@ Return codes

FALSE if watchdog timer is failed to start.
ResetWDT
Resets the watchdog timer. The invocation of ResetWDT
allows restoration of the watchdog timer to the initial timeout
value specified in SetWDT function. ResetWDT or StopWDT
should be called before the expiration of the watchdog timer, or
the system will reset.
@ Syntax
C/C++
BOOL ResetWDT()
@ Parameters
None
@ Return codes
TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully reset.
