Automatic Probe Qualification

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?

    Basically I would like to take 1 point and calibrate every tip. Ideally I would take 1 point on the ring with a probe, define a general location of the ring for the camera to find, then DCC everything else.

    The ring moves very little, but enough for it to sometimes work and sometimes not with DCC. Thus I would like to just manually define its location. The camera has a hard time finding the ring, but the probes don't have trouble finding the sphere. If I manually locate the camera everything will be seamless, but I can't manually locate it using AutoCalibrate probe
