-Focus Sequence 
- 
-Use //Run Focus// in the AzCam window to make a focus exposure sequence. 
- 
-A new instrument command has been added to move the focus actuators to specific LVDT values.  Type, for example,  
- 
-//instrument.SetActuators(0.874,0.825,0.795)// 
- 
-to move the actuators (A,B,C) to the positions indicated.   
- 
-Misc Focus Info 
-  * The image header has a line like: FOCUSVAL= '*0.756*0.795*0.815' / Focus 
-  * These are LVDT (encoder) values corresponding to '*LVDT_A*LVDT_B*LVDT_C' 
-  * One focus actuator step is 2.645 microns, which corresponds to -0.0005 LVDT units. So the conversion is (-1322.5 um/LVDT unit). 
-  * Note the zero point for the LVDT scale is arbitrary and only relative motion should be considered.So for example, 0.756 above for LVDT_A is a position of (0.754 * -1322.5) = -997.2 microns. 
-  * Note the direction sign is reversed between actuator movement and the LVDT readout.
