Walter,
I am not sure I understand the need for your request.
BIRD 146 contains this sentence in under 3.2.2.1:
" ... The algorithmic model is expected to modify the waveform in
| place by applying ..."
and in section 3.2.2.2 BIRD 146 says this:
" ... The 'wave' returned
|* by the algorithmic model must have the same number of samples as the
|* original 'wave' that was passed into the algorithmic model."
I am not sure what the first two sentences in your suggestion
below adds to this. To me they seem to say the same thing
with more and/or different words.
Your 3rd sentence is a new idea which we haven't talked about
yet. We can certainly add this text to the specification but
I am not sure if it is necessary. To me this sounds a little
like saying that the model maker is responsible that the model
generates valid data. Isn't this kind of obvious? Why would
someone write a model that doesn't generate valid data? I know
it might happen, but does a spec really have to say this?
Thanks,
Arpad

All,
I would like to suggest the following be added to BIRD146:
By construction, the number of samples in 'wave' is the same when the
AMI_GetWave function returns as it was when AMI_GetWave was called. It is the
model developer's responsibility to make sure that the AMI_GetWave function
does not overflow the bounds of the 'wave' array. It is also the model
developer' responsibility that there is valid data that the EDA tool can
analyze after the number of bits specified by Ignore_Bits.
