RS232 Control Software

  • Installation Please download the latest Software Version from the link below: https://docklight.de/download/Docklight.zip Then follow the installation wizard for installation on Windows 7 and 10.
  • After the installation, Docklight can be run for the first time and should look like the below screen shot:
  • Registration is not necessary unless you wish to save settings on exit, so unless you wish to register click on "OK" to close the window.
  • The next pop-up window can also be closed with "Continue". An empty project is enough to send and receive commands easily (The default setting is always “Start with a blank project / blank script“)
  • Click “OK” to close this window.

Now you are in the main view, where commands are sent and feedback is received. The next step is to select the correct COM port of the PC. To do this, double-click on "COM1" in the corresponding setup window.
Click “Continue” to close this window.

In the following window, select the drop-down menu labeled "Send / Receive on Comm Channel", select the appropriate COM port and then click on "OK" at the bottom right corner.
All other settings can be left at default for most applications, but refer to device RS232 settings to be sure. Double click on “COM1” to change to the right COM port.

  1. In order to be able to send commands, open communication with the device by clicking on "Play".
  2. Then the keyboard function must be activated, so that commands can be written in the "communication window".
  3. Finally enter the command, for example "50701%". This is then confirmed by pressing "Enter" to send. Any response from the connected device will appear in red. Select the right COM port.
  • Enable the keyboard type in function.
  • Click “Play” to open the communication.
  • Monitoring area, indicates if the command sent works.

EDIDUpgrade[xx]. The serial port upgrades EDID data.

  1. [xx] represents the input port, the value is 00-02 and U. [xx]=00-02 means to customize the EDID of the corresponding input port (EDID is switched to the custom EDID after customization, and will not be saved in the machine), 00 means to operate on all input ports, 01-02 Means input 01-02,
  2. [xx]=U1-U4 means custom built-in EDID (can be saved in the machine and recalled at any time), only one built-in EDID can be customized, and the current EDID still used after the customization is completed will not switch to the customized EDID.

After receiving the instruction, the machine will prompt to send the EDID file. The file format must be .bin within 10s (in order to ensure normal data reception, all HDBaseT must be disconnected before sending the instruction)

Input XX/User Define EDID Upgrade OK By RS232 Or GUI!
