Where are the log files stored for a imaging session?
NVM I found it.
Can someone take a look at my log file from tonight? I couldn’t get SGPro to run through an entire sequence. It kept throwing a camera error. Then it would abort sequence.

There’s no obvious sign of an error in the log, there a message about a request for a sequence abort but that’s it.
More information would be needed, what is the error? And what time does it happen?
It seems whenever it tries to engage my dslr it gives me the 'No Canon cameras detected! Error: EDS_ERR_OK’
then it goes to abort sequence. I can disconnect the camera and reconnect it but then it will only shoot one subframe and give me the same error and want to abort again.
Last night I got the error first when I was doing trying to frame and focus. It started like normal, I clicked Take One and it took a frame but then when I clicked Take One the second time it gave me the error. I disconnected the camera in the sequencer then reconnected it and it seemed to work again until I clicked ‘Run Sequence’ then I got the error again and it went to abort the sequence. I did the same thing and it ran for one subframe and went to abort sequence.
Is your camera set to the correct mode? The manual says:
Bulb vs Manual Mode - If your camera has a dedicated “Bulb” mode on the Mode Dial then you should use this mode for any exposure over 1 second. Also exposures under 1 second are not reliable when using Bulb mode so if you require reliably timed short exposures then you should switch the camera to Manual. For cameras that DO NOT have a Bulb option on the Mode Dial these options do not apply.
You can find the relevant part of the manual here: About Sequence Generator Pro
Yes I have my camera set to ‘Manual’ mode and my shutter speed set to ‘Bulb’. Last night I was doing 300s exposures. Like I said whenever it would try to engage the camera, I would get the error Could not connect to camera and then it would go to the Abort sequence. I could disconnect and then reconnect the camera in the Sequencer window and it would run through 1 or 2 frames but then give me the same error again.
I will pay more attention next time to what the error actually says so I can report here but non the less it was giving me the error and not running through the entire sequence.
I disconnected and reconnected the camera many times so I have multiple log files from last night.
Here is one of the last log files from last night.

See what happens when you do a Take One and Loop (start) in Frame and Focus.
Also try a different USB cable to the camera just in case that’s the problem.
It is possible it could be the USB cable cause I have the camera connected through a USB extended cable to lengthen the cable not directly from the camera to the laptop. I will give this a try next time!
Thanks!
What does this line in the log file mean
‘SGPro capture cal frame mode is OFF’
and how do I turn it ON
