Bob,
My intent was to make it simple and allow Default as an alternative to Value
for all parameters, thus eliminating and special code for specific
parameters. Note that all 5.0 AMI models will work, it just relaxes a rule a
little. The recommended way for future models is to use Value instead of
Default for all parameters, but one will be able to use either Default or
Value. Note that if there is both Default and Value specified, and since
Default must be a legal Allowed Value then either the value of Default must
equal the value of Value or the Value must me NA.
The following
Currently Value is required and therefore not identified as a
parameter which will allow only Default per V5.0. This is also
rigidly enforced in V5.0 IBIS-AMI. A rule for this case needs to be
added.
I disagree that a rule needs to be added for this. True the existing parse
will need to be modified for the new AMI format, but the existing 5.0 AMI
files which obey the above rule will still pass the new parser.

Walter:
Ok, this is a combined amendment where we are also assuming
that we now can make optional certain parameters in five "boolean"
keywords. The simple sentence
| If there is no Allowed-Value method, and (Default <value>) is
specified,
then the
| only Allowed Value will be <value>.
We need to identify explicitly which parameters support "no allowed-value".
Specifically we are now creating special case rules for a group of
"boolean_reserved_parameters" where we can optionally omit either or both
Value and Type.
Init_Returns_Impulse | || Required || first 5 are boolean
parameters
GetWave_Exists | || Required
Use_Init_Output |
Init_Returns_Filter | || New
Max_Init_Aggressors |
Page 144 of the spec also applies to Ignore_Bits, of Type Integer.
Ignore_Bits | || Type Integer, different rules
Currently Value is required and therefore not identified as a
parameter which will allow only Default per V5.0. This is also
rigidly enforced in V5.0 IBIS-AMI. A rule for this case needs to be
added.
Bob
I still object to making some of the syntax optional, but that
will be on my issues to be resolved/discussed list.
