Before using LRCP, you must make sure that IP addresses of the OM series
instruments are s
following sections describe how to set the OM instrument IP addresses for use
on DHCP and non-DHCP networks.
The OM instrument is set with automatic IP assignment (DHCP) enabled by
default. Therefore you do not need to specifically set the instrument IP address, as
the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address during instrument power-on.
The following procedure describes how to use LRCP software to verify
connectivity of the OM instrument to a DHCP-enabled network.
Prerequisite: OM instrument, and a controller PC (with LRCP installed), both
connected to the same DHCP-enabled network.
1. Connect the OM instrument to the DHCP-enabled network.
2. Power on the OM instrument with the rear power switch (set to 1). The
instrument queries the DHCP server to obtain an IP address. Wait until the
front panel Power button light turns off.

Click on a tab to display the laser controls for that instrument.
To connect t he OM series instrument to a non-DCHP network, you must reset the
default IP address and related settings on the OM instrument to match those of
your non-DHCP network. All devices on this network (OM instruments, PCs
and other remotely accessed instruments such as oscilloscopes) need the same

If you are setting up a new isolated network just for controlling OM and associated
instruments, Tektronix recommends using the OM instrument default IP subnet
address of 172.17.200.XXX, where XXX is any number between 0 and 255. Use
the operating systems of the oscilloscope and computer to set their IP addresses.
NOTE. If you need to change the default IP address of more than one OM
instrument, you must connect each instrument separately to change the IP address.
There are two ways to change the IP address of an OM series instrument:

The Set button is used to modify the addressing as described in the next section. It
is not necessary to use the Set button to change the Friendly Name.
Each device must be assigned an IP address in order to communicate with the
device. How you manage IP addresses in your network, namely with or without

If the lasers are used in conjunction with the OM instrument and OUI, the laser
usage type needs to be set using the dialog on the lower right corner of each
laser panel. The OUI uses the setting to determine from which laser frequency
information is retrieved. A usage type can only be selected once between all of
the controllers but you can have one usage type on one controller and another
usage type on a second controller.

can be done by typing a number in the text box or by dragging the slider. The
sum of the text box and slider values will be sent to the laser. Once the laser

ATE functionality in MATLAB
MATLAB supports a limited subset of the OM4000 Series services, namely the
Basic service. This section describes how to create and address the functions
from MATLAB.
The Laser/Receiver Control Panel communicates with other programs using port
9000 on the computer running the Control Panel software. MATLAB 2009a has a
built-in capability that makes control from MATLAB easy if you are running the
February 2010 or later release of the Laser/Receiver Control Panel.
NOTE. Ensure that the LRCP is running before using this interface.
dFrequency(double desiredFrequency);
TogglePolarization(Obj);
Initialize the interface in the MATLAB desktop command window with the
following commands:
url = 'http://localhost:9000/LaserReceiverControlPanel/
Laser_ReceiverServiceBasic/?wsdl';
createClassFromWsdl(Url);
obj = Laser_ReceiverServiceBasic;
Where:
The first specifies the URL or path to a WSDL application programming interface
(API) that defines the web service methods, arguments, transactions.
The second creates the new class based upon that API and builds a series of
M-Files for accessing the Laser/Receiver Control Panel service.
The third instantiates the object class name and opens a connection to the service.
These commands only need to be run anytime the service interface (available
methods) changes.
To get an up-to-date listing of methods for the service, type the following:

There are no user-serviceable components or subsystems within the OM2012.
Attempting any internal repairs will void your warranty. Never remove the
external lid on the unit.
If it becomes necessary to replace the fuse in the power input module in the
rear of the unit, use a 5X20 mm “slo-blo” fuse rated at 1 A, 250 VAC. Use a
small screwdriver to gently pry open the fuse drawer.
