All,
DLL_ID
No
(no stated relationship to DLL_Path or Supporting_Files)
DLL_ID is a unique name optionally associated to each AMI DLL instance. It
enables DLL's to log information to a file with a unique name so that multiple
DLLs in a simulation can log debugging or other information.
DLL_Path
No
(no stated relationship to DLL_ID or Supporting_Files)
The intention of DLL_Path is to tell the DLL where it is located in the file
system. It would normally be used to find supporting files that are located in
the same directory as (or sub directory of) the DLL. It would be logical that
DLL_Path would be used to find Supporting_Files.
Rx_R
No
(no dependency on Ts4file)
Tx_R
No
(no dependency on Ts4file)
To be precise: Tx_R and Rx_R are illegal if Ts4file is not present, and they
are optional if Ts4file is present.

Subject: [ibis-editorial] "Required" Rules as Derived from Table 41
Per a recent discussion in the IBIS Editorial Task Group, there is some concern
about whether the "Required" field, at least for the AMI parameters, is filled
out using a consistent context. Often "Required" implies "required by the
specification at all" as opposed to "required for legal syntax because of a
dependency on another parameter". At the time, the Task Group concluded that
this issue was important but would be too time-consuming to resolve for IBIS
7.1.
As it happens, Table 41 in the existing IBIS 7.1 draft already helps clarify
the status of "Required" for many AMI parameters. The enclosed worksheet uses
Table 41 definitions and footnotes, expanding them where rules in the parameter
text apply. The highlighted text shows where there are potential conflicts or
gaps between the parameter definition text and the contents of the "Required"
field.
Comments are welcome.
