The External Plates DB module should be set to return a certain amount of LP numbers found in the database. This amount of numbers will be returned in case of partial search or wildcard search methods. This parameter is required for a more flexible setup of Auto-Intellect using the internal programming tools.

For setting the plates number to be returned while searching via a wildcard or a number's part, do the following:

1. Go to the External Plates DB object settings panel.
   
2. Select the value Partial match, Wildcards match or With acceptable number of errors from the Search method drop-down list (1).

3. In the Partial LP match and template search return no more than field:

   • LPs (2) — enter the maximum number of license plates returned when searching by part of the number or number template in the external plates database.

     This parameter also affects the number of returned records in the Event viewer window when searching by template or by part of a number.

     
     

   • errors (3) — enter the maximum number of errors (character mismatches) in the search request and numbers in the external plate database.

     The more errors are accepted, the more the search system is loaded.

     
     

4. Click Apply (4).

Setting the plates number to be returned while searching via a wildcard or a number's part is completed.
