{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}&lt;br /&gt;
Module for displaying warning message to the user if continuous update of tracked tool position or update of an image stream stops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Demo video:''' https://youtu.be/NJ1BcJ3kY5g&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The module provides the following features:&lt;br /&gt;
* Display of a warning message in any of the viewer window(s), at configurable size, color, and transparency&lt;br /&gt;
* Sound feedback when tracking or imaging is stopped or resumed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tool positions and/or images are typically acquired through OpenIGTLink from Plus Server (www.plustoolkit.org) or other compatible server. When an optically tracked tool gets out of the tracker's view or an electromagnetically tracked tool gets out of the tracking field then position updates stop. As a result, the tracked tool stops moving and/or the displayed image stops updating, but this may not be immediately visible to the operator. To make sure that stopping of real-time updates is not missed by the operator, the Watchdog module is configured to provide visual and/or audible warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limitation: end of warning sounds may be clipped during replay, therefore users cannot fully rely on the audio feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ---------------------------- --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Panels and their use}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Parameters sets:''' saving of all parameters&lt;br /&gt;
** Create a new parameter set to save your parameters&lt;br /&gt;
** Select previously saved ones &lt;br /&gt;
** Default parameter set is selected when entering the module&lt;br /&gt;
This is useful when user knows optimal parameters for a specific procedure. The parameters set is saved when saving the scene and is reloaded when opening a saved scene.&lt;br /&gt;
