   The smaller the search range, the shorter the time it takes to search.

3. Set the image matching accuracy.

   

   Hint

   The image matching accuracy sets how much the set image has to match with the display contents on the screen before it can be declared as "Displayed". The smaller the value, the more similar icons will be searched, and the larger the value, the more only exact matches will be found.

4. Set the position to operate.

   

   Hint

   If Operate is not set, clicking and other operations will be performed on the center of the image. If the X coordinate is negative, the operation is performed on the position shifted to the left;if it is positive, the operation is performed on the position shifted to the right. If the Y coordinate is negative, the operation is performed on the position shifted upward; if it is positive, the operation is performed on the position shifted downward.
