When you are done specifying settings for your LPR system, test your setup (see "Test current LPR
configuration" on page 19) in live view to see if it recognizes license plates as expected.
Test current LPR configuration
Why is it a good idea to test your LPR setup? Because it can help you test —among other things—if
your system recognizes any license plates at all, and if so, if it is the correct kind of license plates? It
can also help you decide if your confidence level is set correctly and if your system configuration is
fully optimized. All important issues designed to lower the CPU usage of the machines running your
LPR setup.
