Notice that they specify 0
degrees as pin one in the SW quadrant. Although they don't say
which direction the rotation is, looking at an illustration, it seems to
show that the rotation is CCW. I want to say I read this somewhere
else, but I can't say where. It is not easy to find this info on
the web.
I did some more searching and found another document on XYRS
formats. I should have stopped at one, because now I have two that
conflict...
This one can be found at

They are very clear that the rotation is CCW. They make it a bit
fuzzy for the bottom side by talking about it as viewed from the top
side. But from the perspective of the assembly machine, it is CCW
on both sides when viewed from that side.
However,,, they use a 0 degree orientation having pin one in the upper
left quadrant.
I have tried to find this info at the machine maker's sites, but they are
very shy on giving technical info.
