My definition of a parameter is: A parameter tree contains a root, branches and leaves. A branch of the parameter tree is an AMI Parameter, if it has one of the following leaves. A branch that is an AMI parameter may not contain a branch. Usage Type Default Allowed-Value Method Value List Range Increment Corner Steps Walter From: ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ibis-macro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of fangyi_rao@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 2:53 PM To: Arpad_Muranyi@xxxxxxxxxx; ibis-macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ibis-macro] Re: IBIS-ATM teleconference - Agenda for 11/30/2010 Hi, Arpad; I have following questions regarding the Typo BIRD. 1. On page 2, shall we merge the two modifications on line 140 into one? 2. At the bottom of page 4, shall we say "A branch in the .ami file is an "AMI Parameter" if it only contains the leaves Type, Usage, and any of the following leaves"? Shall we explicitly state that a branch having Usage and/or Type and a sub-branch is illegal? 3. The first paragraph on page 5 seems to suggest that parameters of Usage Info and Out are also passed into the DLL by the parameter string for AMI Init. Thanks, Fangyi
