You can view the number of reads common to multiple regions of interest for a specific time period, using the Reads (Multi-region) report.

    7. Create other regions as required.

  3. Set up the other query filter for your report. Choose one or more of the following filters:

  4. Click Generate report.
    The reads that are common to all regions you have defined are listed in the report pane.
  5. (Optional) To view high resolution images in the Plate image and Context image columns, expand the corresponding column width. For more information, see Customizing ALPR image quality displayed in report pane columns
  6. View your query results in the canvas, in one of the following modes:
