See this Comm Center thread (Emmanuel Jehin). Need an option for this (as it applies only to cheap SCTs  or overloaded flexing optical trains). Force an autofocus (and reset the periodic AF interval) after a GEM flip.

Check-in comment Fix FocusAfterFlip property on Preferences. Testing of focus after flip slewing from one target to the next. Still needs testing for auto-flip. GEM:925

This is ugly but it's turning out not to make too much of a mess.

Check-in comment API Changes to support "force autofocus after flip" and "use Optec FocusLock" preferences. No changes to Preferences yet, this is just the API and Interop assembly changes. Interop 8.1.2. GEM:1488 GEM:925

Time estimate extended to 6 hours. This will require an API change to do it right (option in the AutoFocus tab).

While I am at it I should add as needed to support the FocusLock system from Optec (see ACP-1488)
