Description
This issue dates back to November 2018, where ACP in the AcquireSupport.MoveFocuser() was hardcoded for PWI3. Since some customers have PWI2 and some will have PWI4, Kevin Ivarsen of PlaneWave supplied code in the FocusOffsets script to handle it. Somewhere I dropped the ball and didn't put that code into AcquireSupport. No documentation exists in the Comm Center as no ticket was filed for any of this. It reappeared at Don Elledge's as an Autoflat failure. The amazing thing is that this function is used during routine observing, yet it only appeared when running Autoflats.

This turned out to be a race condition in PWI2, fixed by PlaneWave. Closing.

Damn it, I forgot to define a variable at the beginning of MoveFocuser()
