Description

The typical application is to power-cycle a crashed computer. As long the control application running on the the computer contacts the device on a regular basis, the power stays on. If, for some reason, the application stops to contact the device, the power will be cut for a short time. The will cause the computer to reboot.

The integration of this watchdog into existing solutions is easy, given that it does not require a device driver. The watchdog timer can be reset either using a command line, or using a simple function call to Yoctopuce library.
