EDID Menu page
EDID Menu - Applications
The EDID page has a variety of uses and is useful for checking the capabilities of a given device.
- Simply click the EDID Read button and the EDID data will appear on screen. (If that does not occur,
please check that the HDMI cable is firmly connected on both ends).
- The EDID page displays information about the manufacturer and basic characteristics in the
General Information window.
- Details about Video and Audio formats supported by the device are displayed in the Video
Information and Audio Information windows.
- The raw EDID data is also presented in hexadecimal format for detailed analysis. This data is
primarily useful for device manufacturers.
- The V-SG4K-HDI Signal Generator can save up to 10 sets of EDID data to a PC for analysis and
comparison.

Address Setting Button (in Main Menu)
Address Setting Menu - Applications
The Address Setting button in the Main Menu area (left side of screen) opens the Address Setting
menu. This section is used when it is desired to link together several Signal Generators to perform
multiple tests at the same time. This is a particularly useful feature for manufacturing, QC and QA
applications. As shown below, Signal Generators may be connected to each other in a “cascade” or
“daisy chain” fashion linking the RS-232 output from one unit to the RS-232 input of another. For this
method to operate correctly, each Generator needs to be given an Address number (and optionally, a
Group number). Also, a Generator can be given a text name.
- To create an Address, each Generator should be connected, one-at-a-time to a PC running the
Control Application.
- Click on the Address Setting button.
- In the Address Setting menu, in the New Address area, type in a two-digit Address and Group
number (a common Group number like 01 will be fine for most applications).
- Click on the Write Address to Device button to set this Address.
- Click on the Save button before exiting the Address Setting page.
Once each Generator has been assigned a unique Address and all the Generators are connected
together, it is simple to select each generator from the Main Menu.
- First, click the Search Device button. Within a few seconds all of the Generators will be detected.
- Next, click on the pulldown window located just below the words “Address Management” in the
Main Menu area. A list of all connected devices will appear.
- Simply click on the Address of the Generator you wish to control and make the desired settings
through the various menu tabs.
