Configuration
You configure the watchdog with the DiagBase or DiagMonitor software.
The watchdog is able to monitor system runtime and informs the user about the different
reactions that are triggered if the system does not respond to the watchdog within the
specified monitoring time.

DiagMonitor software. The watchdog configuration is retained in the process.
The following reactions can occur if the watchdog is not addressed within the set time:

Reset off Executes no action when the watchdog expires
Restarts the operating system when the watchdog expires
Shutdown Shuts down the operating system when the watchdog expires
The "Reset on" option immediately triggers a hardware reset that may result in loss of data
under Windows and damage to the installation.
