Review of ver7_0_181205.docx:
Mike noted the incorrect "Fig. 2" reference is now changed to Figure 41 on page
356 (All Markup). Bob noted he has another figure reference correction. Mike
showed the fixed backwards quotes on page 362. He also showed that the issues
with m-dash have been changed to double dash. Arpad asked if there is a space
before this. Mike removed the space.
Mike noted the issues with the Figure 46 reference have been fixed. Bob noted
that Figure 45 has the same issue and is referred to as Figure 48 in the text.
Mike corrected this by making it a figure cross reference. Mike noted an issue
in MS-Word with the figure numbers having repeat numbers. Arpad asked if Mike
is using the same MS-Word Version as Michael. Mike replied he is using Office
365. Bob stated we have a reference to "figure above", and he thought this
should reference the figure number. Mike agreed and changed this to Figure
42. He noted Figure 43 has the same issue and fixed this as well.
Justin asked if the issue with the repeated Figure numbers only shows up in
Markup mode. Mike tested this and noted that it is not an issue in No Markup
mode. Bob commented we also need to check the line spacing issues in No Markup
mode.
Mike noted we have 7 checklist items remaining. Checklist item 71 indicates it
should be the last step to change the dates. Mike suggested checklist item 85
regarding the page breaks should be last. Bob stated that the date does not
span multiple lines. Mike agreed this would be unlikely to change the line
spacing. Bob stated we do not know the exact day until the document is
approved, but he would like to see the correct spacing before we approve it.
Mike asked about checklist item 72 regarding new BIRDs for changes we have
made. He asked if this is something we should bring up in the Open Forum and
how to determine which changes warrant a BIRD. Bob commented that we often
find issues that require BIRDs, but we have already made some changes that
could be BIRDs. If a change comes up during review as not a simple editorial
change, this could require a BIRD. Then, we would have to deal with these
issues. This checklist item is a place holder that this could happen, but
there are currently no known cases.
Arpad asked about checklist item 79 regarding the table alignment. Mike
suggested to go through the tables to check. Bob suggested to check these in
No Markup view. Bob asked if the tables are center aligned. Mike responded
Table 1 is centered, but Table 2 is left edge aligned and spans both margins.
Bob suggested to left align the tables. Arpad stated most are center aligned.
Mike noted Table 11 encroaches the right margin. Mike changed the Table 11
width using the Autofit feature. Bob asked if the X's in Table 13 should be
vertically centered. Mike fixed this. Mike noted the headings in Table 14 are
not centered and corrected this. Arpad stated the notes are in the tables in
some cases (e.g. Table 15) and not in others. Mike added a checklist item
asking about this. Arpad suggested to center Table 19.
Arpad commented Table 20 is too wide, and he proposed to make some of the
columns smaller. Mike noted that there this is a table within a table and
there is some padding the cell text. Bob commented we might make an exception
for this table. Mike stated we will need some expert help on Table 20 and
added an item to the checklist for this. Arpad commented we need to center
Table 22. Mike commented Table 23 has the same issue as Table 20. Bob noted
there are several tables like this. Mike noted Table 24 also encroaches the
margin, but it could possibly be fixed. He will need some expert help to fix
the tables that encroach the margins.
Mike will send out the latest draft and checklist [AR].
Mike will ask Michael about the Table encroachment issue [AR}.
Bob moved to adjourn. Arpad seconded. The meeting adjourned without
objection.
The next meeting will take place Friday, December 7, at 8 AM Pacific.
Open Technical Questions:
1. BIRD182: POWER and GND [Pin] signal_name as [Pin Mapping] bus_label
a. Is a bus_label created even if we don't have [Pin Mapping], [Bus Label],
or [Die Supply Pads] through the [Pin]?
b. Is a bus_label short created for legacy package models based on the
second column of [Pin] when we do not have a [Pin Mapping] entry?
