I added Section 2 to the BIRD Walter emailed me
and the document has been posted on the IBIS-ATM
web site.
 
I made one additional change to the Word document:
I changed the language to English from French so
that the spell checker would not mark everything
red...
 
Thanks,

clear up confusion on Allowed Value Methods


All,
 
I added the following to the AMI BIRD I sent to Arpad:
 
 
 
Each Usage In and InOut parameter has a single Value in the data passed
to the DLL using Parameters_In. An Allowed-Value is the method that the
EDA tool can determine if it has one or more than one allowed value for
each parameter. If there is more than one allowed value, the EDA tool
can choose the value of this parameter automatically from the Allowed
Values List, or it can have the user select a value from the Allowed
Values List. The EDA tool would generate an Allowed Values List of in
accordance with the details for that Allowed Value Method. Similarly,
the EDA tool can determine the Allowed Value List for each Usage Info
parameter. If there are more than one value in the Allowed Value List
the EDA tool can select that value automatically from the Allowed Values
List, or it can have the user select a value from the Allowed Values
List. Usage Out parameters need no Value at all. I think it should be
optional to supply an Allowed Value for Usage Out parameters, since the
EDA tool has know way of knowing what the DLL will return.
