While working on PWI integration I realized that it might be better to initialize the AF program and focuser stuff once, at the beginning of a run, in AcquireSupport.Initialize. This would reduce the FMx popping up and down. It wold open at run start and go away at run end. The other benefit is that any problems starting the stuff up would show up right away instead of later when the focus changes or an AF happens.
