Did you get the temperature option?
I note that they talk about the NMI option, which can be set to
provide an NMI about half-second before a reboot.
The problem with these things are that if you have some sort of error
condition, the system will keep resetting itself and slamming into
the error that caused the reset initially. Perhaps you can have an
application set up a nonvolatile status file somewhere (it would be
nice if the card furnished this) so that you could determine where in
the whole affair that the reset kicked in and perhaps take some
remedial action, such as discarding a troublesome input or
transaction.
