### Running Scan Total
The running total of how many reads you have done in a session is located on the right, just above the read list. In this case we have 30 reads total.

**Valid Plates** are flagged as green. Valid reads will list on the handheld unit but will not be chalked or passed into the system as part of the LPR events report.

### Toggle PL8-RDR Scanning
When editing a plate read the system will go into offline mode. This is indicated by the green button shown below changing to red. To continue scanning plates be sure to engage the ON button, make sure it's green before continuing.

### Scan for Plates-of-Interest Only
Alert-only scanning can be done by selecting the toggle at the top of the PL8RDR LPR Scanning panel.
Once selected:
- no permit validation will be performed
- vehicles will continue to be chalked
- alert notifications will be presented if a vehicle of interest is "seen"
