Scope auto focus#

Executes the automatic focus search of the probe station scope.

Description#

The test triggers the auto focus function of the connected probe station. The probe station searches for the best focus position by moving the focus axis (scope, image processor or chuck, depending on the machine configuration).

To move to the last known rough focus position without a full focus search, use the test Scope go to focus instead.
