Hello,
According to our discussions in the ATM teleconference,
I rewrote the paragraph about what should be included
in the AMI parameter string and what shouldn't. Here
is that section of the BIRD draft:
|* The EDA tool must process the content of the .ami file
so that
|* 1) the 'Reserved_Parameters' and 'Model_Specific'
branch
|* names and their associated open and close
parentheses "()"
|* are not included in the AMI_parameters_in string,
and
|* 2) the AMI Parameter branches with Usage In or Usage
InOut
|* are converted to leaf/value pairs for the
AMI_parameters_in
|* string, possibly incorporating user selections. In
this
|* conversion each AMI parameter branch name becomes a
leaf
|* name in the AMI_parameters_in string and each leaf
name
|* is followed by a white space, a value and a closing
|* parentheses ")".
|*
************************************************************************
********
|* The EDA tool must include all Usage In and Usage InOut
AMI
|* parameters in the AMI_parameters_in string and the AMI
|* executable must return a string in AMI_parameters_out
|* which includes all AMI parameters of Usage InOut and
Usage
|* Out. The string must be in the parameter tree format
using
|* branches and leaf/value pairs.
************************************************************************
********
|* The following two paragraphs are to replace the previous one:
************************************************************************
********
|* The EDA tool must pass a string to the AMI executable
model
|* through the AMI_parameters_in argument which contains
all of
|* the leaf/value pair formatted Usage In and Usage InOut
AMI
|* parameters defined in the .ami file and nothing else.
|*
|* The AMI executable model must return a string to the EDA
tool
|* through the AMI_parameters_out argument which contains
all of
|* the leaf/value pair formatted Usage InOut and Usage Out
AMI
|* parameters defined in the .ami file and nothing else.
************************************************************************
********
|*
|* For Usage In, the value in the "AMI Parameter" leaves
are
|* determined by the EDA tool based on the "AMI Parameter"
|* branches in the .ami file. For Usage Out, the value in
the
|* "AMI Parameter" leaves are determined by the Algorithmic
|* Model. For Usage InOut, the value in the "AMI
Parameter"
|* leaves are first determined by the EDA tool based on the
|* "AMI Parameter" branches in the .ami file and passed
into
|* the Algorithmic Model which may return a new value in
the
|* "AMI Parameter" leaves after some processing.
|*
Please let me know whether this wording captures the thoughts
we discussed in the meeting, and make suggestions if not.
Thanks,
Arpad
