The Line Powered Application option in Dolphin are intended to be used for HW modules that have a permanent power supply. These devices are usually line, battery or continuous energy harvester powered. The radio receiver is always on and they don't enter to sleep mode (exception standby). Typical examples of line powered applications are gateways or controllers. In line powered applications the system Scheduler is activated and the Watchdog Timer Timer is used as safety timer to trigger a system reset if the application hangs.
To create a line powered application in DolphinV4 API Configurator select either the Line powered or Line Powered SmartACK-PostMaster application option.
