Arpad, 1. The model must assume that the reference clock is shifted in time from the data by some unknown amount of time. The purpose of the reference clock is to eliminate the effect of a frequency offset between the Tx and the Rx. 2. The reference clock should start within a bit time of the start of the simulation, and span the time domain of the input waveform (wave). 3. The reference clock must be terminated by a -1. I think we should first decide whether we should be including this feature.

For example, current spec says that sample time is 1/2 bit after the clock. Perhaps, incoming clocks should be used directly for synchronization. 2) Another story is about persistence of the clock value. We allow, for example, that the output clock appears only after many bits of simulation. Does this apply to input clock as well? If yes, how? 3) Then, about termination with '-1'. Is it still the case? What should be a model behavior if the incoming clocks do not cover a piece of waveform completely?
