Compliance
Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference
Regulations
Determining FCC Class
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC
places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only)
or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products.
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the
Department of Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.) Digital
electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless products.
All Class A products display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired
operation. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A products can be operated.
FCC/DOC Warnings
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions
in this manual and the CE marking Declaration of Conformity*, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
Classification requirements are the same for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Department
of Communications (DOC).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by NI could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the
FCC Rules.
Class A
Federal Communications Commission
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the interference
at their own expense.
Canadian Department of Communications
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

Watchdog Timer Programming
This appendix explains the TPC-2012 watchdog timer programming.
Overview
You can use the TPC-2012 watchdog timer to monitor system software
operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function after the
programmed period. This appendix describes how to program the
watchdog timer operation.
The watchdog timer is built into the W83627HF I/O controller. It includes
the following programmable functions:
•
•
You can enable and disable the timer via programming.
You can set the timer interval from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to
255 minutes.
•
The timer generates an interrupt or resets the signal if the software fails
to reset the timer after a timeout.
Watchdog Timer Programming
The watchdog timer I/O port address is 2E (hex) (the address port) and
2F (hex) (the data port). You must first assign the register address by
writing the address value to address port 2E (hex), then write/read data
to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).

Watchdog Timer Programming
on WinCE
Windows CE includes a watchdog timer for the TPC-2012. You can access
the timer through the WIN32 API. The TPC-2012 includes a WDT driver,
WDT1:, for enabling/disabling the watchdog timer. You must open this
driver before using the resources, and then use the DeviceIOControl
function to enable/disable the watchdog timer.
This appendix describes DeviceIOControl and it parameters. It also
includes a programming example.
DeviceIOControl
DeviceIOControl sends a control code directly to a specified device driver,
causing the corresponding device to perform the specified operation. The
function and its parameters are:
BOOL DeviceIoControl( HANDLE hDevice, DWORD
dwIoControlCode, LPVOID lpInBuffer, DWORD nInBufferSize,
LPVOID lpOutBuffer, DWORD nOutBufferSize, LPDWORD
lpBytesReturned, LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped );
Parameters
DeviceIOControl includes the following parameters:
• hDevice
(in) Handle to the device that performs the operation. Call the
CreateFile function to obtain a device handle.
• dwIoControlCode
(in) Specifies the operation control code. This value identifies the
specific operation to be performed and the type of device on which the
operation is to be performed. No specific values are defined for the
driver, you can define IOCTL_XXXXcontrol codes, per the CTL_CODE
macro. You then can advertise these control codes, and an application

Appendix D
Watchdog Timer Programming on WinCE
can use these control codes with DeviceIoControl to perform
driver-specific functions.
• lpInBuffer
(in) Long pointer to a buffer that contains the data required to perform
the operation. This parameter can be NULL if the dwIoControlCode
parameter specifies an operation that does not require input data.
• nInBufferSize
(in) Size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpInBuffer.
• lpOutBuffer
(out) Long pointer to a buffer that receives the operation’s output data.
This parameter can be NULL if the dwIoControlCodeparameter
specifies an operation that does not produce output data.
• nOutBufferSize
(in) Size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer.
• lpBytesReturned
(out) Long pointer to a variable that receives the size, in bytes, of the
data stored into the buffer pointed to by lpOutBuffer. The
lpBytesReturnedparameter cannot be NULL. Even when an
operation produces no output data, and lpOutBuffercan be
NULL, DeviceIoControl makes use of the variable pointed to by
lpBytesReturned. After such an operation, the variable value has no
meaning.
• lpOverlapped
(in) Ignored; set to NULL.
•
Return Values
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended
error information, call GetLastError.

How to Use the Control Codes
There are six control codes for the WDT driver operation codes.
IOCTL _WDT_ENABLE
Enables the application watchdog timer. By default, if the watchdog timer
is enabled, the WDT driver automatically triggers itself after the specified
period, and your application does not need to trigger the watchdog timer.
• lpInBuffer: unused
• nInBufferSize: unused
• lpOutBuffer: unused
• nOutBufferSize: unused
IOCTL _WDT_DISABLE
Disables the application watchdog timer.
• lpInBuffer: unused
• nInBufferSize: unused
• lpOutBuffer: unused
• nOutBufferSize: unused
IOCTL_WDT_STROBE
Triggers the watchdog. If your application uses IOCTL_WDT_ENABLE
to enable the watchdog first and then sends IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT to the
WDT driver, your application must trigger the watchdog once during the
watchdog timer period. If your application has not triggered at the specified
period, the device reboots automatically.
• lpInBuffer: unused
• nInBufferSize: unused
• lpOutBuffer: unused
• nOutBufferSize: unused
IOCTL_WDT_GETTIMEOUT
Gets the watchdog time setting.
• lpInBuffer: unused
• nInBufferSize: unused

Appendix D
Watchdog Timer Programming on WinCE
IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT
If you want your application to trigger the watchdog, use
IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT to notify the watchdog driver timer (WDT).
Otherwise, the WDT triggers itself automatically.
• lpInBuffer: unused
• nInBufferSize: unused
• lpOutBuffer: unused
• nOutBufferSize: unused
Programming Example
#define WDT_CODE(ID) CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_UNKNOWN,ID, METHOD_BUFFERED,
FILE_ANY_ACCESS)
#define IOCTL_WDT_ENABLE WDT_CODE (0x900)
#define IOCTL_WDT_DISABLE WDT_CODE(0x901)
#define IOCTL_WDT_STROBE WDT_CODE(0x902)
#define IOCTL_WDT_GET_TIMEOUT WDT_CODE(0x903)
#define IOCTL_WDT_SET_TIMEOUT WDT_CODE(0x904)
#define IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT WDT_CODE(0x905)
// for compatibility reasons, you can define IOCTL as below:
// #define IOCTL_WDT_ENABLE 0x1001
// #define IOCTL_WDT_DISABLE 0x1002
// #define IOCTL_WDT_STROBE 0x1003
// #define IOCTL_WDT_GETTIMEOUT 0x1004
// #define IOCTL_WDT_SETTIMEOUT 0x1005
// #define IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT 0x1006
HANDLE m_hWDT=NULL;
TCHAR szClassName[60];
// assign the WDT driver name wsprintf(szClassName, TEXT("WDT1:"));
// Open the WDT driver
m_hWDT = CreateFile(szClassName, GENERIC_READ GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
if ( m_hWDT == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) { DebugMsg(CString("WDT driver fail"));
return;
}
DWORD dwTemp; DWORD nIndex=2;
// Set the Watchdog Timer as 10 seconds. Number 2 means 10 seconds.
DeviceIoControl(m_hWDT, IOCTL_WDT_SET_TIMEOUT, &nIndex, sizeof(nIndex),
NULL, 0, &dwTemp, NULL);
// Enable the Watchdog timer
DeviceIoControl(m_hWDT, IOCTL_WDT_ENABLE, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, &dwTemp, NULL);
