# Dataton Watchout

it is possible to export the calibration to then use it in Watchout **if you are using an open-OS server as you need to install VIOSO on all machines**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Using autoalignment is not (yet) possible on Dataton Watchpax devices due to system restrictions.
{% endhint %}

\
If VIOSO is used in "free mode", the export settings must be made manually. In project mode, a preset can be selected when creating a new project.

Presets for Watchout 6 and Watchout 7 already exist to feed Watchout warping & blending data the MPCDI format to apply the calibration information. Watchout 6 uses MPCDI V1, Watchout 7 uses MPCDI V2.

For further informations about MPCDI click the link: [What is MPCDI? (dataton.com)](https://newsandviews.dataton.com/what-is-mpcdi)

The support for warping & blending differs between Watchout 6 and Watchout 7. Whenever possible we recommend using Watchout 7 in connection with autoalignment due to it's improved flexibility:
