Saving the Local EDID to a File
Once an EDID has been recorded (see Programming an External EDID), the EDID can
be saved to a le on a computer using the #saveloedid command. The EDID must be
loaded to the local input (HDMI input) before it can be saved to a le.
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:
#saveloedid param1
where param1 = the lename used to save the EDID. The le type can be either
a .txt le or a .bin le.
In this example, we will save the local EDID to the lename “Dell30.bin”:
#saveloedid Dell30.bin
4. After executing the command, the terminal program responds with the following:
Waiting for the le to be received ... (press ‘a’ to abort)
5. Open the Transfer menu and select Receive File...
6. Click the Browse... button to select the location where the le will be saved.
7. Select Ymodem as the receiving protocol.
8. Click the Receive button.
9. After the EDID has been saved, the following will be displayed:
Saving EDID successfully.
