Michael:

 

Here are some partial review comments as a start,

but I have several more to consider.

Subject: [ibis-editorial] Revision 0.140 of draft reformatted IBIS 5.1

 

Per our discussions in today's meeting, please find rev. 0.140 of the draft
reformatted IBIS 5.1 document (the Word document is being posted to the
website)

 

Major changes include:

-          Examples now all use 0/0 paragraph spacing

-          All Table cross-references fixed

-          Introductory text on added to Section 6C

-          Bob's Section 10A, Rev. Z rules have been enforced

-          Model Specific Parameter restrictions have been removed

-          Bob's list of language variations were used to make terminology
consistent

-          Jitter Reserved Parameters in Section 10A have "table" properly
explained for units, per today's e-mail thread

-          Numerical values have been added to the examples

 

This does not yet include Walter's "node" changes; these will be integrated
next.

 

Comments are welcome.

Misc:

The paragraph spacing still need to be adjusted throughout
and made more compact with the standard IBIS sections.

p. 13 - I would indent the list of comment characters
(like in Section 3, items 3) or 8) on page 5.

p. 63  [Ramp] the dv/dt in the equation should be dV/dt
as in the orignal 5.0 spec and as related to the
Sub-Params: definition.

p. 85  - on the tree diagram, some ... lines are missing
compared to the V5.0.


p. 120 - on the tree diagram, some ... lines are missing
compared to the V5.0.

p. 166 - line feed before <value>:
p. 172 - extern  : line up with left margin



Section 10A

All courier examples - single line feeds 

p. 173

Prefer the paramter definition file organization to be single-space courier

Missing ... above (Reserved Parameter text 

p. 174

Model-Specific --> Model_Specific

(parameter name   --> (parameter_name


p. 176
Type <data_typ>  (another 1/2 or 1 line feed above)

p. 177
Where Format  ... Required where Format ...

p. 180
for Gaussian, Dual-dirac, remove "Model_SpecifiC".  That is too-specific
and the rule would be the same for if it would be for Reserved_Parameters
in the future. 

p. 195
General Rules and Notes.

I would move some rules back into the Parameter Definition File organization
since that is where the reference is most visible.

On Note:, Note 2) belong in Section 10.  Note 1) belongs in the beginning
of Section 10A and maybe in Section 10 since it defines notational conventions.
