When using AO the dither command never settles

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have been able to reproduce this problem both with the Simulator camera and 
AO and with a SXV-AO+Lodestar.

From another application I send a dither command with the settle parameters 
{"time":3,"timeout":30,"pixels":2}. If I have understood well the documentation 
I expect that when the guider keeps the star centered with a distance less than 
2 pixels for 3 consecutive seconds the settle is done. If I disconnect the AO 
this is the result that I get. However, with the AO connected (both the 
simulator and the SXV-AO) it doesn't settle and I receive a timeout error after 
30 seconds.

I have attached a screen capture of a log of the messages that I send and 
receive. You can see that after the second "Settling" message the distance is 
less than 2 pixels, and after the third "Settling" message the "Time" counter 
starts to grow. When it reaches a value greater than 3 I would expect to 
receive a "SettleDone" message. However, the "Time" field keeps growing until 
the timeout happens.
