Testing with display (sink) devices
The generator can emulate a source device in order to test a display device’s EDID
generation. The EDID data received from a connected display device can be displayed via
image or HTML report.
For display devices with writable EEPROM, the generator can also put (write) a new EDID
to the device.
Viewing EDID from a display (882 only)
Follow the procedure to view EDID data received from a DDC-compliant VGA, HDMI,
DisplayPort or DVI display connected to the generator.
Note: This feature is not supported on the 881 generator.
To view EDID data received from a connected display device:
1. Connect the display under test to the generator.
2. Press the Source key and choose a suitable format for the display (for example,
DMT0660).
Alternatively, to select the format using the command line interface, enter the following
commands:
FMTP /tffs0/Library/Formats // Set format path to generator memory
FMTL DMT0660 // Load the DMT0660 format
FMTU // Activate the DMT0660 format
