RE: RE: Fluke 9010a question

You can't always disable the reset or watchdog in software. You can
ignore the reset line, but sometimes the watchdog can mess up your
standard tests. (I *think* Centipede is an example of this... Been a
while since I tried it.) I used to just ignore the status line via
software, but nowadays I always ground the watchdog disable.
