Operating the HDMI Detective Plus
EDID Programming
Uploading an EDID file to a EDID Bank
In some instances, uploading the EDID directly to the local input is not desired. In this
case, an EDID can also be uploaded to the desired EDID bank using the
#loedidtoba
command. The EDID file must be in binary ( .bin ) format.
1. Connect the HDMI Detective Plus to the computer using a USB-to-Mini USB cable.
The USB connection will power the HDMI Detective Plus.
2. On the PC, launch a terminal-emulation program. We will be using Windows®
Hyperterminal to illustrate this example.
Refer to Using the Virtual COM Port for more information on terminal communication
settings.
3. Type and enter the following command line:
#loedidtoba param1
where param1 is the EDID bank where the EDID file will be uploaded. The file type
must be binary (
.bin
).
In this example, we will upload an EDID file to EDID bank 3:
#loedidtoba 3
4. After executing the command, the terminal program responds with the following:
Waiting for the file to be sent ... (press ‘a’ to abort)
5. Open the Transfer menu and select Send File...
6. Click the Browse... button to select the EDID file.
7. Select Ymodem as the sending protocol.
8. Click the Send button.
9. After the EDID has been successfully uploaded to the EDID bank, the message
“
Download successfully
” will be displayed, along with the filename and size.
The following is an example:
File: viewsonic.bin, Size: 128 Bytes
