Re: Vexing bug (possibly system watchdog related?)

We had a periodic system watchdog issue (approx 4 per minute) that I finally traced down to an issue of the Classmate's power scheme (actually Intel's power saving scheme called SpeedStep). We have been programming with LabView; however, I see this as a Classmate DS/DB issue not a cRIO issue.

We would see it in wireless or tethered modes, and would see the watchdogs typically disappear when the Classmate was powered with the AC adaptor. If you see watchdog errors disappear with AC power I suggest you read more about it in this thread:
