3. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
● If you have previously configured your carousel, select a carousel name from
the available list on the bottom-left of the Auto Chip Changer Tuning window.
Click the Rename button to change a carousel name, and click the
Delete button to remove an existing carousel from the list.
● If you would like to tune a new carousel, select New Carousel, select the
carousel type from the Carousel Type list, and then type a name for your
carousel.
4. Click Next.
5. In the first three steps of this wizard, you will configure the “locked” position of the
chip. Stand up and look down at the MANTIS. Using the motion controls, align the
edges of the metal MANTIS arm with the walls of the chip station.
6. Position the MANTIS hand so that the front point of the chip is directly above the
front point of the chip pallet.
7. Use the motion controls to tweak the position of the arms and hand as necessary.
Lower the hand into the chip station until the magnet picks up the chip, making
sure that the arms remain parallel to the ground and are not flexed in an upward or
downward position.

You can also use the keyboard keys to control the motion:
● W: The key moves the MANTIS arms backward along the Y Axis.
● S: The key moves the MANTIS arms forward along the Y Axis.
● A: The key moves the MANTIS arms left along the X Axis.
● D: The key moves the MANTIS arms right along the X Axis.
● R: The key moves the MANTIS arms upward along the Z Axis.
● F: The key moves the MANTIS arms downward along the Z Axis.
● Q: The key rotates the left carousel clockwise.
● Z: The key rotates the left carousel counterclockwise.
● E: The key rotates the right carousel clockwise.
● C: The key rotates the right carousel counterclockwise.
8. You will now configure the “unlocked” position. Remove the chip from the chip
pallet, and attach it to the MANTIS hand.
9. Align the metal MANTIS arm with the walls of the chip station. Then, position the
hand above the chip station, this time aligning the tabs on the chip pallet with the
indents at the edge of the chip station.
10. Lower the chip into the chip station, being careful to keep the arms of the MANTIS
parallel with the ground. If the position is correct, the MANTIS will leave the chip in
the chip station.
