Configuring Engines

Create a gxsd.dat XML configuration file as described by the The Carmen ANPR Engine Reference Manual.

Here is the basic structure of the file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gxproperty>
  <default>
    <error>
      <!-- Error Codes -->
    </error>
    <imagefileformats>
      <!-- Image File Formats -->
    </imagefileformats>
    <anprtypes>
      <!-- ANPR Types -->
    </anprtypes>
    <licdevtypes>
      <!-- License Device Types -->
    </licdevtypes>
    <licserver>
      <!-- License Server Configuration -->
    </licserver>
  </default>
  <!-- Engine-Specific Configuration -->
</gxproperty>

In the section "Engine-Specific Configuration", you need to list all engines you copied into the dat and lib folders in order to be able to use them. The configuration for a single engine is wrapped in a pair of XML tags of your choice, world in the example below. This will be the symbolic name you will need to use to refer to the engine in Carmen® Worker configuration.
