Not sure I understand. It's a single plane as far as Calypso is concerned, unless you're checking them as 4 different features, which it isn't. Should be profile, form only, to itself. I don't think there is any difference between ISO and ASME on that, but I could be wrong.

Our CMM's have been set like suggested since installation.
It is a debate of inspection methods between personnel over which method is right or wrong.
ASME, ISO or manual layout.

I was looking to understand if there is a difference between ASME and ISO methods.

The standards all agree on this I believe but Calypso is not correct. The Profile to itself evaluation requires a nuanced way of looking at things and Calypso doesn't provide for that. According to the Standard Profile to itself is the same as Form so Flatness in this case will provide a correct answer according to the standard. Personally, I prefer Calypso's doubling of the greatest deviation, plus or minus material but that just me. I'm sure the old gents in Chicago have their reasons.

Your first example has 4 surfaces defined as datum A. There are no datum references, which makes it form only, and a best fit of all 4 surfaces as 1 surface, which is basically what flatness does. 2 parallel lines as a boundary zone with the points fit within it. Your second picture, top half, references a feature called profile/parallel to Datum A, which is different, as A creates the tolerance zone orientation for the considered feature.

Hope that made sense.
