Check Settings locks up SEM with Nikon D7200 [Case Solved]

[JuanCab]

I am using Solar Eclipse Maestro 1.8.5 (100) on macOS 10.12.5 with my Nikon D7200.

Launching SEM it does appear to detect the camera, as I can select (from the Camera menu) Live View, Available Properties, Battery Levels, Check Settings, Benchmarks, as well as the Exposure, FOV, and Sampling Calculators. Also the other items on this menu are greyed out (including Push Button). I can run all these items EXCEPT Check Settings. When I run Check Settings, the app appears to open a window showing a progress bar (similar in appearance to the Benchmarks window), but no progress is made and the app locks up.

Any suggestions?

Do you see the camera in the Hardware Configuration window? If the answer is yes then your camera is properly identified, and then I'd suggest you give it a short name, the one that you'll use in the script to reference the camera.

as I can select (from the Camera menu) Live View, Available Properties, Battery Levels, Check Settings, Benchmarks, as well as the Exposure, FOV, and Sampling Calculators. Also the other items on this menu are greyed out (including Push Button).

When a menu item is not selectable (greyed out) while a camera is connected it is likely because a script is loaded.

I can run all these items EXCEPT Check Settings.

So the menu item is not greyed out?

When I run Check Settings, the app appears to open a window showing a progress bar (similar in appearance to the Benchmarks window), but no progress is made and the app locks up.

The bug has been reproduced with Nikon cameras, Canon cameras seem to be fine, and it will be fixed in the coming release around mid-June.
