172 Chapter 10 Testing EDID
5. To view parsed EDID information, press and release the Step key, and then turn the
Image knob to view additional blocks and parsed data.
To query EDID information from an HDMI, DVI or VGA display via the command line:
1. Using a terminal emulator, establish a terminal session with the generator (see page
14).
2. To view the current EDID in ASCII hex format, use the EDID? command.
To view a specific segment of EDID, use the I2CR? command.
Querying the EDID from the command line enables you to create a text file with the
EDID in order to configure the analyzer to emulate the display device.
Writing EDID data to a display
You can modify the EDID in the connected display, if the EEPROM in the display is
writable.
To modify the EDID in a display:
1. Connect the display to be modified to the HDMI, DVI or VGA Tx connector on the
generator.
2. Using a terminal emulator, establish a terminal session with the generator (see page
14).
