There are two watchdogs. The first is the user watchdog which is entirely contained in the cRIO and controlled by the the watchdog class/vis. I think that is what you are referring too. The second is the system watchdog which is handled by the "behind the scenes" code and is dependent on the network communication with the driver station. If the driver station doesn't send data quickly enough (because it was overloaded), it would trigger the system watchdog.
