This is a 7i90, timeout_ns is not adjustable ANAICT. Or it wasn't nearly a year ago the first time I tried, now it works. Thank you. > bite) halcmd setp hm2_7i92.0.watchdog.timeout_ns 20000000 (back to a > value that wont bite) halcmd sets clearwd false (this clears the WD) And that works, now to arrange that its done whenever I enable the machine. hal needs an if/then/else/endif command. Badly. Thank you Peter. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
