Walter,
Thanks for the suggestions. We'll discuss some of the details tomorrow. I
agree with your changes to UI.
On Dual-Dirac, I added details to explain the units and usage of the
arguments for the parameter. Note that Dual-Dirac and Gaussian are not just
available as Formats to time-related Reserved Parameters, but are also
available as Formats to Model Specific Parameters, where time units may not
apply. The new Reserved Parameters text explains the difference.

MM,
I would prefer that:
UI
Unit Interval. 1 UI is the inverse of the data rate frequency, for example 1
UI of a channel
operating at 10 Gb/s is 100 ps. UI parameter values are unitless. The
parameter may take
on either floating point or integer values.
Be changed to
UI
Unit Interval. 1 UI is the inverse of the data rate frequency, for example 1
UI of a channel
operating at 10 Gb/s is 100 ps. UI parameter values are in units of 1 UI. If
UI is 100ps as in this
example, then if the value of a UI parameter is .01, the used value of the
parameter will be 1ps.
The parameter may take on either floating point or integer values.
I do not know why you added the following:
Composite of two Gaussian data sets. Two separate means are defined, but
with a common
sigma for each. Both mean entries and the sigma entry are floating point
values and are
assumed to be in units of UI when declared as Type UI. When declared as Type
Float and
used for a Model_Specific parameter, no units are assumed.
Reserved_Parameters may
define units for Dual-Dirac values declared as Type Float, as detailed
below.

Per our discussions in the last meeting and in today's IBIS-ATM task group,
please find rev. 0.135 of the draft reformatted IBIS 5.1 document.
Major changes include:
- Fully consistent use of line spacing and fonts
- (highlighted) Clarifications on units for key AMI Parameters
- Consistent usage of AMI Parameters, Reserved Parameters and Model
Specific Parameters
- References to "IBIS-AMI specification" removed
- New text for Gaussian, DjRj and Dual-Dirac, plus associated TX
and RX jitter Reserved Parameters
- Additional minor fixes to some terminology
- Reorganization of Section 10A general and specific rules, plus
additional explanatory text on branches, leaves and root
Comments are welcome.
