All: Mostly editing comments: (1) "Tx_Sj_frequency" should be have an upper-case "F", and the example Type should be Float: "Tx_Sj_frequency" is an AMI parameter of Type Float and Usage Info which defines the frequency, in Hertz, of the sinusoidal jitter at the transmitter. Example: (Tx_Sj_Frequency (Usage Info)(Corner 6.5E7 6.5E7 6.5E7)(Type UI) (Description "Tx Sinusoidal Jitter Frequency in Hz.") ) (2) Each of the new parameters need to have the allowed Format sentence, as in Version 5.0 jitter parameters or as in Tx_DCD in this draft BIRD ----- Attached is a Table summarizing the rules for the jitter, noise and sensitivity parameters for information only. The tables illustrates comment (1), and assumes the undocumented Format choices of Value, Range, and Corner per comment (2). ----- Question: Per the implied parameter dependency note: Note: If Tx_Sj_Frequency is not assigned (either in the model or by the user), Tx_Sj should be ignored. How would you know if the Tx_Sj_Frequency has been assigned by the (executable) model if the Tx_Sj_Frequency is Usage Info, and not entered in the .ami file?
