The author mentions there is a setup screen for camera type. I downloaded the application and tried it. It appears to automatically compensate for different cameras (and sensors) based upon the selected camera information. When switching between a full size and crop sensor camera the data changes as it should.

Sure. Like the article says:

All of those settings depend upon your particular camera, of course, since depth of field is based on the relationship between the focal length of the lens and the size of the camera’s sensor, and sensors come in a variety of shapes and sizes. SetMyCamMx has a setup screen with a single menu for choosing your camera from a list of many dozens of models. You can choose your specific camera or select a similar one.
