Abstract:
A time-out period is established for a watchdog timer. The time-out period is restarted each time a designated key value is received when each key value is received in a proper sequence. An error is indicated if set of key values is received in an incorrect sequence. A time-out is indicated if a correct sequence of key values is not received within the time-out period.
