   *          tracking device by calling the method GetTrackingDevice().
   *          
   *          Once the tracking device is configurated there are two ways to reset
   *          the UI to allow the user for configuring a new device. The method Reset()
   *          can be called and there is also a button "reset" which can be pressed by
   *          the user. In both cases a signal "TrackingDeviceConfigurationReseted()"
   *          is emitted and you may wait for a new configurated tracking device.
   *
   *          The possibility to reset the configuration by the user can also be switched
