Hey Chris, perfect, thanks!- You pointed to exactly the right location. The stg1 and stg2 cards do have hardware watchdogs that drive the DACs to 0V.
Is anybody using that feature - does anybody have a working stg watchdog setup that i could copy ? Or is that uncharted waters ? Or shall i write it up so that everybody can use it ?
