System WatchDog Timer
I've been doing some prototype and development work with regards to error handling and the like.

I understand the MotorSaftey AKA User WatchDog and that's NOT where my issue is.

I've run into the System WatchDog several times, which is fine as I was actually expecting it.

However after digging around, I couldn't find documented anywhere just how long the System Watchdog timer is or more detail criteria of it's triggers.

Anyone know?

BTW, I've read "An Overview of FRC Watchdogs" paper.
