Todd,
I think we don't understand each other.
What I was referring is this. Your explanation for that change in
BIRD107
was that for the FALSE case you couldn't require to have the EDA tool
convolve the unchanged channel impulse response with the stimulus
waveform
pattern (as I suggested it one of my emails) because if this was
required,
AND there was an RX model which also had a FALSE then the channel
impulse
response would be convolved into the total outcome twice (= double
counted).
My most recent question was suggesting that this could also happen with
what is in BIRD107 for the TRUE case. In the TRUE case the output of
INIT
is convolved with the stimulus waveform and sent into the GETWAVE. If
this
is done for both the Tx and Rx, then the modified impulse response
coming
out of INIT will be included twice in the total calculations. (This is
with the assumption that the INIT function's input is the channel
impulse
response for Tx and Rx).
Is this situation never going to happen?
Arpad

Arpad,
I think the effect is the same.
TX: Use_Init_Output=False RX: Use_Init_Output=False
TX: Use_Init_Output=True RX: Use_Init_Output=False
In either case, the output from the TX AMI_Getwave should be fed
directly into the RX AMI_Getwave.
Agree?
Todd.

That double counting could also happen when you have a Tx GetWave and
an Rx GetWave call in the same system with the Boolean being FALSE
both times. Or is that never going to happen?

Oops.
Off by one word. Corrected copy below.
Arpad,
I made that change when preparing the BIRD. The presentation we were
reviewing on Tuesday was
focusing solely on a TX model how the Init/Getwave calls would be used
to predict the waveform at
the RX pad.
What I realized while preparing the BIRD was that the language we were
using could be construed as
requiring a second copy of the channel impulse response to be convolved
into the waveform presented
to the RX AMI_Getwave call, even when Use_Init_Output is False.
Consider the case where the TX and RX model both implement filtering in
AMI_Init and AMI_Getwave.
In the case where Use_Init_Output for the RX model is set to False, then
the output of the TX
AMI_Getwave call should be fed directly into the RX AMI_Getwave call.
The existing language
| If the Reserved Parameter, Use_Init_Output, is set to "False", EDA
tools will
| use the original (unfiltered) impulse response of the channel.
Didn't support that clearly. My concern was that the impulse response
of the channel would end up
in the output twice in some EDA implementations. The proposed language
was ambiguous in the case
where both models have both calls, and Use_Init_Output is False.
This was a realization I had at 5:00 this afternoon, with different key
people out of the office.
Thus I had a decision to make - change the language and go ahead (I know
this stuff works, we've
already tested and correlated it) - or wait. I chose the former.
Sorry if this came as a surprise - there's no hidden agenda here. There
was simply a case we forgot
to consider, and I made a change to address it.
We can discuss this further at tomorrow's and next Tuesday's meeting.
Todd.

Excuse me, but how did the language on pg. 18 of this presentation:
http://www.vhdl.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/archive/20080401/toddwesterh
off/IBIS-AMI%20Correlation%20and%20BIRD%20Update/IBIS_ATM_BIRD_Update_04
0108.pdf
change from:
| If the Reserved Parameter, Use_Init_Output, is set to "False", EDA
tools will
| use the original (unfiltered) impulse response of the channel.
| The algorithmic model is expected to modify the waveform in place.
into what is in the text of the BIRD107:
| If Use_Init_Output is set to "False", the EDA platform will present
the
| input waveform directly to the AMI_Getwave call (i.e. without
convolving
| the waveform with the impulse response returned by AMI_Init).
The two paragraphs have a significant difference and I didn't see
any discussion on that change... Could someone please explain that
to me? What happened with the "impulse response of the channel"?
Thanks,
Arpad
