hil_watchdog_is_expired

Indicates whether the watchdog has expired.

Description

The hil_watchdog_is_expired function indicates whether the watchdog has expired. It is not typically required because the hil_watchdog_reload function's return value also indicates whether the watchdog has expired.

Prototype

t_error
hil_watchdog_is_expired(t_card card);
    

Parameters

t_card card

A handle to the board, as returned by hil_open .

Return value

Returns true (1) if the watchdog has expired. Otherwise it returns false (0). If an error occurs then a negative error code is returned. Error codes are defined in quanser_errors.h. A suitable error message may be retrieved using msg_get_error_message .

Error codes

QERR_HIL_WATCHDOG_IS_EXPIRED

This function is not supported by the board-specific HIL driver for this board type.
