I just wanted to post this for future reference in case someone else wants to connect a GigE/Ethernet camera to Roboguide for iRVision setup. It took me a few tries to get this all figured out so I thought I would post it. My 2 biggest hurdles were getting Roboguide to expect a GigE camera, and then being able to view the feed from the camera. For the first issue I found when creating your robot in Roboguide you must select the GigE option, R697 IIRC, along with the standard iRVison options. I had made a copy of a robot that had vision in RG, but that robot lacked the GigE option so there was no GigE option when I tried setting up the camera. As soon as I fixed that the GigE option showed up when I opened vision setup and did a camera setup. After I got that far I could configure the camera, but not see the feed. I talked to Fanuc and was told I needed a Twain driver, not exactly sure what it does, but something along the lines of converting the camera signal to a signal compatible with RG. I ended up getting a Twain driver from Edmund Optics website, place we got our Basler camera from, and after I loaded the driver and restarted the computer everything worked the way I was hoping it would. I get a live feed from the camera and can set up the vision process tools.
Also just in case somebody has a work laptop like I do with company restrictions on it and has trouble doing iRVision setup on it because you cant alter the trusted sites list in Internet Explorer there is a work-around.
