Hi, Walter;
Thanks for the updated document. Can you clarify following questions regarding
the BIRD?
1. On page 11, statement "All reserved parameters must contain
sub-parameters Usage, Type, and one of the Allowed-Values sub-parameters." is
contradictory to statement "If a Reserved Parameter must have one and only one
Usage, Usage is optional. If a Reserved Parameter must have one and only one
Type, Type is optional." on page 7 and some examples.
2. On page 18, should the order of array values in the parameter string
follows the order of the leaves appear in the branch? If yes, how does the ibis
parser make sure such order information is passed to EDA tools?
3. On page 24, the document states that "The impulse values are in
volts". I think the unit of impulse should be volt/sec because by definition
impulse*dt is in volt.
4. On page 25, should "element[n]" be "element[n,0]"?
Regards,
Fangyi

Subject: [ibis-macro] Process to "finish" the AMI BIRD
All,
I think Tuesday's discussion was extremely productive because it covered all of
the types of changes in the BIRD in microcosm. It also became clear to me that
we need a more efficient way of getting through the BIRD.
For next Tuesday's meeting I intend to review the changes I made to
introduction to AMI file, including a discussion on the parameter tree
structure. I will then review the sections we discussed last week, and will
confirm that it reflects what I think we agreed to. I then plan to discuss the
process that we need to follow to get this done. I think a key part of this
process is for committee members to read the document and communicate by e-mail
questions, comments, and suggestions prior to the next meeting. I would
facilitate this by sending after each Tuesday meeting an e-mail containing the
latest revision of the document along with an agenda of sections to be discuss
in the next meeting. This is the first of such e-mails. I would encourage
members to send e-mails either to the ATM reflector, or by sending e-mails to
me directly.
For the meeting on Tuesday, January 12, I will review pages 4-8, and pages
26-27.
