I am a bit new to using the liteplacer and it's software. After my computer crashed I've been starting from scratch. I have it doing the fiducials but I can't get it to go to a tape position and pick or place anything. I also can't find any directions online, can anyone help me?

Thank you!

Thank you KeithM and JuKu,

I was able to make some progress with this information. I can now get the liteplacer to go above the tape position. However, it stops and reads: Optical positioning can't find feature.

Any advice on how to get past this?

When you define a tape, you also set what vision algorithm that tape uses. In this case, paper tape. Then, you need to set up that algorithm (set of vision processing functions) using the vision processing setup table and finally, click "copy here" on the paper tape box to move the algorithm from the setup table to the paper tape.
