TMS320F28027: Simple way to use watchdog on Piccolo?

Part Number: TMS320F28027
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

I've taken a look at TI's example program for using the watchdog timer.

It seems easy enough but I have a basic question:  where is the timer duration set?  I noticed a function, namely WDOG_clearCounter() that clears its current count but I don't see any API function to set the length of time or number of count-ups before the watchdog resets.

In the example code, the API function WDOG_setCount() is not called, so what's the default time before the watchdog will reset?  The API library documentation only supplies the function name and its parameters, namely the watchdog handle and the count, with no explanation.
