Hello,
There was a question about how the parameters should be
spelled in BIRD 121.1. I looked at the existing spec
to see how we spell out parameters and found the following:
In the AMI section, we spell parameter names with underscore
and upper case letters:
Init_Returns_Impulse,
GetWave_Exists,
Max_Init_Aggressors,
etc...
Interestingly, in the legacy portion of the spec we do not
use upper case letters after the underscore for the subparameter
names:
C_comp,
S_overshoot_high,
Cref_falling,
Vmeas_falling,
etc...
On the other hand, the AMI function arguments are all spelled
lower case completely, except when the acronym AMI appears:
impulse_matrix,
row_size,
AMI_parameters_in,
AMI_memory,
etc...
However, the AMI functions use upper case letters after
the underscore:
AMI_Init,
AMI_GetWave,
AMI_Close.
So, to be consistent, I would say we should spell the parameter
names in BIRD 121.1 with underscores and upper case letters
after the underscores:
Supporting_Files,
DLL_Path,
DLL_ID (both letters of ID upper case because it is an acronym).
I also wonder whether using "DLL" in these parameter names is
appropriate, since different operating systems use different
file extensions for these executable binary Algorithmic Models...
This brings up a question in my mind regarding the Editorial
Committee. Should we make these spelling rules more consistent
for the upcoming IBIS spec?
Thanks,
Arpad
