EDID testing for sink devices
The generator can emulate an HDMI, DVI or VGA source device in order to test HDMI, DVI
or VGA displays. This includes viewing EDID from a display and writing EDID data to a
display. The generator can test an HDMI display device’s EDID structure and transmission
in accordance with the HDMI Compliance Test Specification 1.0.

Viewing EDID from a display

You can use the generator to view EDID from a DDC-compliant VGA, HDMI or DVI display
connected with the generator.
To view EDID information from an HDMI, DVI or VGA display:
1. Connect an HDMI, DVI or VGA device to the HDMI, DVI or VGA Tx connector on the
generator.
2. Using the Format knob, select an appropriate format for the HDMI, DVI or VGA display
connected to the HDMI, DVI or VGA Tx connector.
Alternatively, to automatically configure the Format knob list based on the EDID of the
display, hold down the R key, and then press and release the ACS key.
3. Using the Image knob, select the EdidData image.
The EdidData image displays the first block of data.
4. Press the Step key, turn the Image knob to the first EDID block.
