Calibrating Probe Offset HELP!

So I just about had a heart attack today.

I'm wanting to calibrate my 5x Nikon Lens with my TP200 by1x30mmTip.

So I opened up the probe utility box

-Went to my Fixed 5x Lens tip, Calibrated to the Ring Gauge,Calibrated probe Offset-All went well with calibration, I closed out and went to select my TP200Tip
-Selected the TP200 tip and Saved my prior Tip calibration data as it asks, went to measure my tip had ring Gauge selected and right after is asked if the Calibration Tool had moved I hit NO and as soon as that happened the probe went directly down towards the table not even going towards the ring and snapped my tip!

I tried several times even after shutting down completley with the same result. Am I missing something? This was how I was instructed to Calibrate my Optics to Probe Offsets from the other programmer I work with and they have no idea what is wrong. Any ideas anyone?

You could calibrate the ring with the TP200 first, answer yes if it had move. Then calibrate optics, answer no. That's the method with a CMM-V, maybe it's not the same with fixed optics ?

I'll have to try it the other way around then, thanks.

I've taking class but could someone refresh my memory on exactly how to Calibrate your probe with your Lens the proper way so you can integrate both into a routine? That would be a huge help.
