Usere defined calibration greyed out

Question

Hello to all. 
 I have a bit of spare time here at work and i thought why my pcdmis on SP25M doesn't let me choose for hte user defined calibration while pcdmis on my tigo with HPSX1C let me choose it as i want. 
 
 After searching the web i understood that it might be the operator mode with pcdmis, so i tried launching "PCDLRN.exe" from the root directory and it worked, i was able to change the uder defined parameters and also the number of hits! 
 So i created a new shortcut of this exe on my desktop and tried to see if it was working but sadly, again those options were greyed out. 
 I tried again with "PCDLRN.exe" but now even there those commands are greyed out. 
 Why? Can anybody help me?

PCDLRN.exe is the process that runs in the background when you have PC-DMIS open. If you right click your PC-DMIS shortcut that opens in operator mode, you will notice it has a /o in the shortcut. What you did when running PCDLRN.exe is open PC-DMIS without any of these switches, like the /o you're used to for your "Operator Mode"

as far as i know, the sp25 sensor has fixed parameters and cannot be changed

You can use the user defined settings only if you tick the partial calibration box in the previous window. (Not at work sorry for no screenshot) 
 Once you have done the full scan calibration one time for each probe the SP25 will allow the Demon to run partial calibration until you reset the probes again. It's best to use parameter sets to make things easy and not do silly things like rotate a long probe through the sphere because you picked them in the wrong order. 99.5% of our programs are TTP so we don't like to waste the time on calibrating the scanning.
