Ambrish, I am not sure if requiring the parameter file name to be the same as the executable file name is a good idea, because I can see situations when the same executable file may be used with different sets of parameters. But we could eliminate the second subparameter by putting the parameter file name after the executable file name separated by at least one white space. This syntax would also match the external model/circuit corner subparameter syntax where the entity(architecture) or module name follows the .vhd or .va file names. This is what that would look like: [Algorithmic Model] Executable Windows_VisualStudio_32 example_rx.dll ParameterFileName.ami This would allow each executable to have its own independent parameter file association.

We can also eliminate the 'Parameter_file_name' subparameter by simply requiring to have the parameter file name to be the same as the dll name (in this case, it will be example_rx.ami). The only scenario where keeping the subparameter would be useful is when there might be multiple parameter files for a single dll. Whatever we chose - I think we are on the right path here. -Ambrish --------------------------------------------------------------------- IBIS Macro website : http://www.eda.org/pub/ibis/macromodel_wip/ IBIS Macro reflector: //www.freelists.org/list/ibis-macro To unsubscribe send an email: To: ibis-macro-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: unsubscribe
