If strobe filter is "Enable" (set/reset thru ioctl) then only a new wdt time window is set else if strobe filter is "Disable", new wdt time window is set to a min value or wdt is disabled depending upon condition. If the logic is complex then I will simplify it. > > Kind regards, > Wim. > ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{���rh���ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
