Figure 3-3 Items in Watchdog Timer Setting

Not used:
If you select this item, the watchdog timer is stopped. The watchdog timer will not
time out. In addition, you cannot use the watchdog timer by calling the WdtControl
function of the RAS library.
Retriggered by application programs:
If you select this item, a user application can control the watchdog timer by using
the WdtControl function of the RAS library.
NOTE
When you change the setting to "Retriggered by application program," the
watchdog timer is stopped once. While the watchdog timer is stopped, it will
never time out. When a user application retriggers the watchdog timer by using
the WdtControl function of the RAS library, the watchdog timer resumes a
countdown. The state of the watchdog timer (whether it is counting down or
stopped) can be checked using the WdtControl function.
