Configuring ARM watchdog
From the front panel UI, you can enable or disable the ARM watchdog feature. This feature, when 
enabled, monitors communication between the ARM processor and the DSP processor on the 
exciter/control PWB. If communication is lost for more than 30 seconds, the transmitter will initiate 
an alarm and reboot the ARM.  To view the 
ARM Watchdog 
screen, select 
System Settings -> ARM 
Watchdog
 from the 
Main Menu
 (see 
Figure 2.71: ARM Watchdog Screen
Use the up and down buttons to toggle between

(checkmark) button to save the change. Press cancel (

menu.
Note: 
ARM watchdog configuration is only available using the front panel display.
