RV Software / Prog rotate in CDF file
August 27, 2010, 12:26:58 AM
The 'Prog rotate'  option in the CDF files appears to not work.
Workaround : corrections to rotations must be done in RV Setup, or by editing the job file.

RV Software / Issues with multi-indexing feeders
August 27, 2010, 12:25:42 AM
Multiple indexing appears to only work with the fixed camera.
The second (and subsequent indexes) only happen when a part is recognised, which makes sense to get the tape in step, however this does not appear to work with the RV4s flying camera, or when imaging is disabled.

Workaround : always use "force fixed" in the CDF.

Another issue I've noticed with double-indexing is that if the distance between feeder, fixed camera and placement location is very short, one of the indexes doesn't happen as the head is back to pick a new part too soon.
This generally fixes itself as you get alternate mis-picks and good picks - it just slows things down a bit when placing parts located very near the camera. If it's a problem, move the feeder, slow the X/Y speed in the CDF or move the PCB.
