[gmpi] Re: Reqs 3.8 Events - ramped events

Quick summary on the topic (is anyone around this week?)

* Several people voted YES for ramps
* No one voted NO

* It has been suggested that a ramp be thought of as a (duration, target)
  pair, which makes sense to me ((x, y), (run, rise), etc).

* It has been suggested that there ONLY be one type of event - ramped.
  Point-value events have a duration of 0, and controls which do not do
  ramping can merely ignore the duration.  This simplifies connections
  between outputs and inputs.

* It has been suggested that we need more complex ramps than linear, and it
  has been countered that linear is all we can push.

Anyone want to keep debating?  What's the decision for these requirements?

I'll suggest:

* GMPI must support ramped control events.  Ramped events must support
  linear ramping, and possibly more, if the spec or implementation teams
  determine.
  (More info: talk about the (x,y) pair.

* GMPI must allow connection of non-ramped and ramped outputs and inputs.
  (More info:  talk about 0 duration events and controls which ignore
  duration)


Does that accurately cover the requirements here?
