_FWDT(WDT_OFF);     // Watchdog timer off

I'm going over my knowledge of dsPICs and I'm reading all the Microchip datasheets available.
So far I have downloaded read and searched the following three datasheets.

• dsPIC30F4011/4012 Data Sheet
• dsPIC30F/33F Programmer’s Reference Manual
• dsPIC® Language Tools Libraries

I was unable to locate any mention of FWDT(WDT_OFF) in any of the above PDFs.
I have left University and now that I have the time I'm going over what I understand about PIC programming. I used the above line of code to turn off the watchdog timer but it was either taken from Microchip example programs or from lecturers examples.
My reason for asking is I would like to know where to find it say fro example if I had no internet access and only the reference manuals I should still be able to locate the necessary syntax etc and build a program from scratch..it would appear to me that I'm missing a manual?
Hop this makes sense!

 

AFAIK "FWDT(WDT_OFF)" is an instruction to set a particular configuration bit.

What language did you use to program the devices? THAT is the manual you should be reading.

 

I'm writing my code in C on Notepad++.

 

You probably meant which compiler I'm using..its xc16-gcc to compile main.c into a.out and then convert a.out into a.hex using xc16-bin2hex.

I guess its the PDF about xc16 I should be looking at?

 

I found it in <p30f4011.h> when I opened it in Notepad++.
