Summa S3 TC160 Camera Profiles in GoSign with barcodes (YES)

I recently purchased a Summa S3 TC160 that has the camera. I'm trying to cut metallic vinyl that has barcodes. As such I have to use a calibrated camera profile to be able to read the marks. I have verified it can read the marks and cut accurately.

The issue is when trying to use the barcode workflow from within GoSign and camera profiles. Simply doesn't work with the camera profiles.
I start to read the barcode like I do with other materials but, it seems to ignore the camera profile selected, and is unable to read the barcode. I have read through the manual repeatedly and I see no mention of how to accomplish this. (is there a secret manual in addition to the software and machine manual?)

I thought I may need to create job files with the camera profiles selected. However when I go to output the cut file, GoSign crashes.

I'm left thinking the software is lacking features, bugs, lacking documentation etc. At this point considering the other issues in GoSign; does there exist a rip software like, onyx, flexi, caldera etc...that is able to use camera profiles and read barcodes?
I recently did a trial of Onyx and didn't see this option.

If it's the same as go produce, you need to copy the macro, edit it and add your material / camera profile to it.
I don't remember if it's the input or output macro but either way.

Found it. That works! Thank you. It has to be the "Select Material" and must be before the "import". Camera profiles must be selected in the material setup. "Camera profile" doesn't effect the barcode Scan. However even with the mark profile that scans correctly, it's unable to find the start point of the barcode or read it effectively. i have tried several other profiles. I wish it would let you calibrate the barcode scan like the marks. Where is this barcode with camera profiles setup documented?
