Jon,

Reading the minutes, I see your concern about large boards. However, I don't
think that this can only be done through interactive user interface.

The simulator tool could have a macro, or an external buffer selection response
file, or simulation configuration file, or something like that, through which
the "user responses" (buffer selections other than defaults) are all available
(predetermined).

With this method you have an option to do it completely invisibly (as in a batch
job which runs overnight), as well as through interactive user interface (as in
experimenting and what if simulations).

 BIRD30.2 - PIN PROGRAMMABLE BUFFER STRENGTHS
 Arpad Muranyi discussed BIRD30.2 with a text revision. Some discussion
 including its relationship to DCL (Delay Calculation Language) standardization
 with respect to dynamically selectable buffers was initiated by Ron
 Christopher. Several ideas to select models including ordering were
 discussed. The concensus was that the actual selection basis was too
 complicated to come to an agreement at this time. The description syntax
 could be standardized, but proposals would have to be developed and
 considered.

 The current proposal allows manual selection through a graphical user
 interface (GUI) with no standardization on descriptions. Jon Powell
 stated that this could work for One device considerations, but the concern
 is that it would be a very combersome process for working with a large
 board with many IBIS model files from several vendors.

 BIRD30.2 was approved by the Vote.

 Proposals the improve upon BIRD30.2 would be considered.
