Description Hans Lambermont 2016-11-19 00:00:08 UTC 
The EKOS focus module can be controlled manually by pressing 'capture' and then 'focus in' and 'focus out'. In this use case it prevents the main CCD imaging camera to work as that one then reports 'cannot capture while focus module is busy'. The focus module is not active. Its 'Stop' button is greyed out which is good of course, just confirming it's not active.

As a workaround I instructed the focus module to complete an additional 'Auto focus' round. When that completed the main CCD imaging camera can work.

Consider wait stage prior to progress so that other modules are not blocked while in the waiting period which should expire after a particular timeout.
