Operating the DisplayPort Detective Plus
Recording an EDID to a EDID Bank
When an EDID is recorded, the EDID data is stored on the local input (
DP In
) port.
However, the
DisplayPort Detective Plus
also allows EDID data to be stored directly to any
of 7 EDID banks. Each EDID can then be recalled at any time. The data in an EDID bank
is saved even when the power is disconnected.
1.
Begin by powering-on the display (or other sink device) containing the EDID to be
recorded.
2. Connect a DisplayPort cable from the sink device to the
DP Out
port on the detective.
3.
Connect a USB-to-Mini-USB cable between the detective and a PC. The USB
connection will power the detective.
4.
On the PC, launch a terminal-emulation program (e.g. Hyperterminal, etc).
Refer to
Using the Virtual COM Port
for more information on terminal communication
settings.
5.
Execute the
#ediddstoba
command, specifying the bank in which to store the EDID.
For example, if we wanted to store the EDID in bank 3, we would type and enter the
following command:
#ediddstoba 3
