The fundamental assumption is that the system is fault free if it possesses the capability to repetitively perform a function such as setting a timer. The frequency at which the timer must be reset is application dependent. A watchdog timer can be used to detect faults in both the hardware and the software of a system.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
