Automatic Probe Qualification

InspectorJester
Good morning!
Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 on Windows 7 x86
----------
I'm embarking on the typical quest of autocalibration routines.
This quest involves an Optiv Performance 443 Camera probe, as well as a plethora of touch probes. I'm moreso concerned with the Camera and 1 probe.

I was able to create a standard autocalibration routine for the single probe using Parameter sets.
However, being an Optiv, I have this big camera I would like to calibrate.

This is a little more complicated unforunately!
However, I am confident. Perhaps overly so?

Regarding this post: https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-vision/21364-auto-qualification-issues-with-optiv-1-vision-system-with-pcdmis-2001

I am having similar problems as the individual in the aforementioned post. When I calibrate the touch probe, I am using a parameter set with the defaults and MAN+DCC. I am able to start the program and run it, automatically calibrate/qualify the touch probe. However, when I calibrate the camera, the crosshair Hit Target "EM1" to 3 does not show up. I am curious as to why?

I am unable to autocalibrate the camera because of this. To compensate I manually calibrate the camera and have an autocal program for the probes. But I'd like a 1 button solution to both if possible!

Anyone have success with autocalibrating a camera?

    I know the process, the camera is the "master" probe while the next tip is the link between the ring and the sphere. I'm just trying to automate it so I can run one program and maybe take a point, then walk away and come back X amount of time later and be fully calibrated (or whatever)

    If I set it as DCC and the tool hadn't moved I can take points on the camera. But what if I need to tell it it had? How can I update the ring position automatically, or is this not feasible?

    If that is the case I would have to manually calibrate the camera and then I could DCC the tips. But that's what I do anyway!

    As far as I understand the process, I am to use the camera saying YES the ring has moved. Then measure it with a probe saying NO it hasnt. Then measure the shere with the same probe, saying YES the sphere has moved, then calibrate all other probes on the sphere
    This is why I would like to say yes the ring has moved. Ideally I would like to take 1 point and then calibrate all the probes
