This function allows the maximum time in milliseconds that a USB request can remain outstanding to be set.

FT_STATUS

FT_SetDeadmanTimeout

(FT_HANDLE ftHandle, DWORD dwDeadmanTimeout)

Parameters

ftHandle	Handle of the device.
dwDeadmanTimeout	Deadman timeout value in milliseconds. Default value is 5000.

Return Value
FT_OK if successful, otherwise the return value is an FT error code.

DWORD dwDeadmanTimeout = 6000;


ftStatus = FT_Open(0, &ftHandle);
if(ftStatus != FT_OK) {
   // FT_Open failed
   return;
}

ftStatus = FT_SetDeadmanTimeout(ftHandle,dwDeadmanTimeout);
if (ftStatus == FT_OK) {
   // Set Deadman Timer to 6 seconds
