+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>
