Kappa Tracer calibration help

This is stopping me from getting back to tracing frames and edging lenses. Is there anyway to override this so I can get back to edging lenses? Thanks very much for the help. I have reached out to Essilor customer service and Coburn but as of yet noone has been available at either place to assist me.

Well if the tech at Coburn I spoke with is right there is no alternative but to find the metal gauge piece. Apparently everything saved is cleared when you start the calibration and you can't return it to an earlier setting. I guess I am now in the market for that piece. Coburn is closed now but apparently they have one in stock. I also spoke to another gentleman who is looking into the part for me but won't have any info until tomorrow as well. If anyone happens to have a spare metal calibration jig lying around and wants to get rid of it please drop me a line, thanks.
