Template Images is an array of template images you want to search for in the target image.

Template Labels is an array of labels that identify the template images specified in Template Images. Each label in the array identifies the template at the corresponding index in the Template Images array.

Default Match Options are the match options that are used to search for the template images in the target image during the match phase. The options get associated with the templates in the following manner.

• If you pass an empty array, the algorithm uses an empty string for the Match Setup Data, 1 for Number of Templates, and 800 for the Minimum Match Score.
• If you pass an array of one element, the algorithm uses the value of this element to match all the templates.
• If you pass as many elements in this array as there are geometric templates, then the algorithm makes a one to one correspondence between the elements of the array and the geometric templates.
• Passing any other number of elements in the array results in an error.

Note  You can override the match options specified in this VI during the match phase by passing new values to the Match Options control on the IMAQ Match Multiple Geometric Patterns VI.

	Match Setup Data is a string that contains information from the IMAQ Setup Match Geometric Pattern VI or the IMAQ Advanced Setup Match Geometric Pattern VI. Set this value to an empty string if you want to use default parameters for all options.
	Number of Matches is the number of valid matches expected.
	Minimum Match Score is the smallest score a match can have to be considered valid. The data range for a match is between 0 and 1000.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

	status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
	code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
	source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Multiple Template (out) is a reference to the new multiple geometric template.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

	status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
	code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
	source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
