_INT_ i_PCI3501_InitAndStartTimerWatchdog	(	HANDLE	h_DeviceHandle,
		DWORD	dw_ReloadValue,
		BYTE	b_TimeBase,
		BYTE	b_InterruptFlag,
		BYTE	b_Mode
	)

Initialize and start the component as timer or watchdog.
If you use this component as a watchdog, when the value reaches 0, the analog outputs will be set to 0V.
If you write on an analog output, or if you trigger the watchdog, then the value of the watchdog is reset to dw_ReloadValue.

Parameters

[in]	h_DeviceHandle	Handle of the board. You can get it with the function i_PCI3501_OpenBoardViaIndex for example
[in]	dw_ReloadValue	The time interval. Its unit is defined by the b_TimeBase parameter. (0 to 4095)
[in]	b_TimeBase	The unit of the parameter dw_ReloadValue. 0x1 Unit is microsecond 0x2 Unit is millisecond 0x3 Unit is second 0x4 Unit is minute
[in]	b_InterruptFlag	Specify if you want to generate an interrupt when the value of the timer / watchdog reach 0.
[in]	b_Mode	Specifiy the mode of the component. 0x0 watchdog 0x1 timer

Return values

0	: No error
-1	: The device handle parameter is wrong
-2	: dw_ReloadValue parameter is wrong
-3	: b_TimeBase parameter is wrong
-4	: b_InterruptFlag parameter is wrong
-5	: b_Mode parameter is wrong
-6	: Error while calling IOCTL function (wrong handle ?)

_INT_ i_PCI3501_StopTimerWatchdog ( HANDLE h_DeviceHandle )

Stop a started timer / watchdog.

Parameters

[in] h_DeviceHandle Handle of the board. You can get it with the function i_PCI3501_OpenBoardViaIndex for example

Return values

0	: No error
-1	: The device handle parameter is wrong
-2	: Error while calling IOCTL function (wrong handle ?)

_INT_ i_PCI3501_TriggerTimerWatchdog ( HANDLE h_DeviceHandle )

Trigger a started timer / watchdog.

Parameters

[in] h_DeviceHandle Handle of the board. You can get it with the function i_PCI3501_OpenBoardViaIndex for example

Return values

0	: No error
-1	: The device handle parameter is wrong
-2	: Error while calling IOCTL function (wrong handle ?)

_INT_ i_PCI3501_ReadTimerWatchdogValue	(	HANDLE	h_DeviceHandle,
		PDWORD	pdw_Value
	)

Read the current value of the timer / watchdog

Parameters

[in]	h_DeviceHandle	Handle of the board. You can get it with the function i_PCI3501_OpenBoardViaIndex for example
[out]	dw_Value	The current value of the timer watchdog

Return values

0	: No error
-1	: The device handle parameter is wrong
-2	: Error while calling IOCTL function (wrong handle ?)

_INT_ i_PCI3501_ReadTimerWatchdogStatus	(	HANDLE	h_DeviceHandle,
		PDWORD	pdw_Value,
		PBYTE	pb_Overflow,
		PBYTE	pb_SoftTrigger,
		PBYTE	pb_ExtTrigger
	)

Read the current value and the status of the timer / watchdog

Parameters

[in]	h_DeviceHandle	Handle of the board. You can get it with the function i_PCI3501_OpenBoardViaIndex for example
[out]	dw_Value	The current value of the timer watchdog
[out]	pb_Overflow	1 if the timer / watchdog reached 0, else 0
[out]	pb_SoftTrigger	1 if a software trigger occurred, else 0
[out]	pb_ExtTrigger	1 if a hardware trigger occurred, else 0

Return values

0	: No error
-1	: The device handle parameter is wrong
-2	: Error while calling IOCTL function (wrong handle ?)
