## Phidget RC Servo.lvlib:RCServo_EnableFailsafe.vi

Enables the failsafe feature for the channel, with the specified failsafe time.

Enabling the failsafe feature starts a recurring failsafe timer for the channel. Once the failsafe is enabled, the timer must be reset within the specified time or the channel will enter a failsafe state. For RC Servo channels, this will disengage the servo. The failsafe timer can be reset by using any of the following API calls:

- `RCServoAcceleration`
- `RCServoEngaged`
- `RCServoMinPosition`
- `RCServoMaxPosition`
- `RCServoMinPulseWidth`
- `RCServoMaxPulseWidth`
- `RCServoSpeedRampingState`
- `RCServoVelocityLimit`
- `RCServoVoltage`
- `RCServoResetFailsafe`
