Fangyi, Walter, There are a couple of spelling mistakes in this paragraph (marked with red bold): As mentioned above, a Retimer Rx must has AMI_GetWave (GetWave_Exist = True) and the AMI_GetWave function must return clock_ticks. The simulation platform shall generate a digital input to the Retimer Tx by sampling the Rx AMI_GetWave output waveform ½ UI after each clock tick, The digital stimulus shall have values of -½ and +½ UNITS?. In step 8b, shouldn't we mention that the resampling should also include the Rx_Receiver_Sensitivity parameter's effect? This paragraphs also needs a few editorial changes: Step 7a. Redriver: The simulation platform convolves the impulse responses returned by Rx1's AMI_Init in step 3 and by Rx2's AMI_Init in step 6 to obtained the full channel impulse response and uses it to perform statistical simulation. Otherwise I think this is a good BIRD...

The major change is that there are now two Tx voltage levels (Tx_Vol and Tx_Voh) that determine the differential step response stimulus that is assumed for generating the Impulse Response of the channel. This make BIRD158 Tstonefile models directly convertible to BIRD 160 external models, and gives the model maker the ability to determine the common mode voltage when generating the Impulse Response of a channel.
