Description:
Automated measurement for focusing. After the measurement, the position of the laser along x and z is reset.

Parameters:
- <firstx>, the first x position;
- <lastx>, the last x position;
- <stepx>, the step size along x;
- <firstz>, the first z position;
- <lastz>, the last z position;
- <stepz>, the step size along z.

How to run it:
python Focusing.py --fx <firstx> --lx <lastx> --sx <stepx> --fz <firstz> --lz <lastz> --sz <stepz> --date <yyyymmdd>

For example:
python Focusing.py --fx 0 --lx 50 --sx 2 --fz -400 --lz -380 --sz 20 --date 20150105

Arduino device ID:
DEVICE ID 2341:0042 on Bus 001 Address 045, Communications Device (in hexadecimal)
