I'm pretty sure I asked this question a long time ago, but I can't find my
notes.  Too many bits and bytes for a tired old brain...

What state of these parameters is required to support statistical
simulation in an IBIS 5.1 model?

GetWave_Exists
Init_Returns_Impulse

If I remember correctly, statistical simulation does not use the results of
the GetWave function, so GetWave_Exists could be true or false.

Init_Returns_Impulse means the DLL perfoms equalization by changing the
impulse response that came from the EDA tool (as opposed to modifying the
time-domain waveform).  It seems like Init_Returns_Impulse should be true
to enable statistical simulation.

Did I get this right?
