Learning A Monitor's Edid Ddc Data - Quantum Data 606 Quick Start Manual

Learn Monitor Function (DDC/EDID Data)
Learn Monitor
LEARN
MONITOR
Reads back EDID data from a
VESA® DDC compliant display
connected to the generator's VGA output. A
list of standard VESA video formats sup-
ported by the monitor is extracted from the
EDID data and compared against all of the
VESA formats in the generator's built in
library. A table is then built of all the match-
ing formats. This table can be viewed by
pressing the EDID Detail menu button. This
table of formats is used for the DDC Step
Test function.
EDID Detail
Lists all of the matching VESA standard video formats from the last successful Learn Monitor
operation. The list is left as is if the operation fails. The +/– buttons can be used to page
through the list if there are more than eight (8) learned formats. You can not select the formats
using the menu buttons. However, you can go through all the formats using the DDC Step
Test function.
NOTE: It is possible that the display's EDID data will include non-VESA formats. These non-
standard formats will not be listed.
