NI WatchDOG
The NI WatchDOG is an onboard, general-purpose counter/timer. You can
it use to monitor running applications and reset the embedded controller or
assert a signal should the system lock up. All WatchDOG timer features are
configured through T&M Explorer. See the
section in
Chapter 5,
, for more information.
Installing Additional Memory
The VXIpc 870 Series uses 144 pin 100 MHz SDRAM and supports 16, 32,
64, and 128 MB SO-DIMMs for a total of 384 MB maximum. As DRAM
technology improves, the maximum amount of RAM supported may
increase.
