Workflow for running the HDMI EDID Compliance Tests

The following is the high level workflow for running the HDMI EDID Compliance Tests.
1. Make the physical connections between the 980 and the HDMI sink device under test.
2. Launch either the embedded 980 GUI Manager or the external 980 GUI Manager and access the EDID
Compliance Test Panel.
3. Complete a (or load an existing) Capabilities Declaration Form (CDF) for the device under test using the CDF
Entry panel.
4. Execute the tests through EDID compliance window.
5. View the detailed data for test failures if failures occur.
6. View the results in the Test Results panel under the Navigator panel.

Making the physical connections

This subsection describes the physical connections required to run the HDMI EDID compliance tests. You can
either run the tests through the embedded GUI manager (running on the 980) or the external 980 GUI manager.
This procedure assumes that you have assembled the 980 Protocol Analyzer and sink device under test into your
work area. There are three connection scenarios depending on whether you are using the embedded GUI
Manager or the external GUI Manager and also depending on whether you are connecting your host PC to the 980
through your corporate LAN or directly.
To make the physical HDMI connections:
This procedure assumes that you have assembled the 980 Protocol Analyzer and source device under test and
applied power to all these devices. Refer to the procedures and diagram below.
