WatchdogOptions: The watchdog is enabled when this byte is nonzero. Set the appropriate bit to reset either or both
processors, update the state of 1 or 2 digital I/O, or update 1 or both DACs.
TimeoutPeriod: The watchdog timer is reset to zero on any incoming Control communication. Note that most functions consist of
a write and read, but StreamData is outgoing only and does not reset the watchdog. If the watchdog timer is not reset before it
counts up to TimeoutPeriod, the actions specified by WatchdogOptions will occur. The watchdog timer has a clock rate of about 1
Hz, so a TimeoutPeriod range of 1-65535 corresponds to about 1 to 65535 seconds.
Initial TimeoutPeriod: Timeout period that will be used until the first WatchDog clear.
DIOConfig#: Determines which digital I/O is affected by the watchdog, and the state it is set to. The digital I/O # is a value from 0-
22 according to the following: 0-7 => FIO0-FIO7, 8-15 => EIO0-EIO7, 16-19 => CIO0-CIO3, 20-22 => MIO0-MIO2
DAC#: Specifies values for the DACs on watchdog timeout. The UE9 has 12-bit analog outputs, so pass an output value between
0 and 4095, plus set bit 7 of the high byte accordingly. If Bit7 is set on either DAC, then both are enabled. To disable the DACs
(set to high-impedance), bit 7 must be 0 for both DACs.
Strict Key: Specifies a 1 byte key that must be passed to WatchDog Clear if strict is enabled.
