Bob,
We probably don't need the Dep type for the new parameters. They are not used
in the analog channel characterization, so their dependencies on other
parameters can be resolved by model in AMI_Init and AMI_GetWave.

Walter,
Here are some editorial comments to conform with IBIS Version 6.1 conventions:
Where the Type is String, use Default: <string_literal>
Where the Type is Float, use Default: <numeric_literal>
In most, if not all cases, the default value assignments are given in the Usage
Rules
sections.
For Modulation, only the enumerated strings "NRZ" and "PAM4" should be legal.
Any
other string is an error. The default "NRZ" applies if the Modulation
parameter is
not included in the .ami file.
For PAM4_Mapping, the additional rule should be that the Value consists of a
four
digits: 0, 1, 2, and 3. None of these can be repeated in the four character
string.
(While this rule is implied, it should be spelled out. Thus "0223" and "3125"
would
be flagged as an error.)
Should we also include Usage: Dep for those Reserved Parameters that support
Usage: Out?
