A watchdog timer (WDT, or simply a watchdog), sometimes called a computer operating properly timer (COP timer), [1] is an electronic or software timer that is used to detect and recover from computer malfunctions. Watchdog timers are widely used in computers to facilitate automatic correction of temporary hardware faults, and to prevent errant ...
Command Loss Timer Reset systems involve both hardware and software. Most spacecraft have more than one Command Loss Timer Reset for subsystem level safety reasons, with the Voyager craft using at least 7 of these timers. Technically the Command Loss Timer Reset is a glorified array of Watchdog timers, each with different settings.
The W65C265S consists of a fully static W65C816S CPU core, 8 KB of ROM containing a machine language monitor, 576 bytes of SRAM, a processor cache under software control, eight 16-bit timers with maskable interrupts, an interrupt-driven parallel bus (PIB), four universal asynchronous receiver-transmitters (UARTs), a watchdog timer that fires a ...

A poll message is a control-acknowledgment message.. In a multidrop line arrangement (a central computer and different terminals in which the terminals share a single communication line to and from the computer), the system uses a master/slave polling arrangement whereby the central computer sends message (called polling message) to a specific terminal on the outgoing line.
The timers support multiple capture/compares, PWM outputs, and interval timing. They also have extensive interrupt capabilities. Timer_B introduces added features such as programmable timer lengths (8-, 10-, 12-, or 16-bit) and double-buffered compare register updates, while Timer_D introduces a high-resolution (4 ns) mode. Watchdog (WDT+)

The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) is a hardware timer available in modern x86-compatible personal computers. Compared to older types of timers available in the x86 architecture, HPET allows more efficient processing of highly timing-sensitive applications, such as multimedia playback and OS task switching .
