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. 

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.

I'm afraid that I will never have time to run a full-blown forum for my site, sorry!
