All,
The parameter tree was initially used for the content of the strings in
Parameters_In and Parameters_Out. The modified BNF in the IBIS 5.0 AMI
specification is an accurate representation and therefore an accurate method
to parse the strings in Parameters_In and Parameters_Out.
The .ami file is also in a parameter tree format, but has additional rules.
I do not know how to capture these additional rules in a formal BNF that can
be used to programmatically parse a .ami file. I did put the following
document together than may very well be misnames a BNF, but I do think
graphically documents the parser rules for the update .ami syntax.
This follows up on the ideas that Bob suggested in his e-mail to the group
on AMI Quick Reference.
I think it is useful as is, any suggestions on how to make it more readable,
or BNF like would be much appreciated.
