Error when trying to calibrate probe with extensions

Hey all,
I'm trying to calibrate a probe at a length we don't typically use, and it won't calibrate. It's like pc dmis thinks it's too long. When calibrating A0B0 it will take the first hits correct, then go down further in the Z- direction and starts hitting the shank of the 2 by 40 probe. Then finishes and gives me an error. The probe I'm trying to calibrate is...

>converttoM2
>60mmext
>20mmext
>2mmx40tip
total length being 120mm, not counting the convert to M2 piece. Any tips?

or you could try removing some of the extensions. Remove the 20mm extension both on the physical probe and the built probe in the menu. Try calibrating it that way. If it works, then add the 20mm back and see if it calibrates.
