Checking it with "ibischk6_64 -ami bug204.ami" results in: ========================================================= IBISCHK6 V6.1.5 ... Checking bug204.ami for AMI Version 6.1 Compatibility... Errors : 0 File Passed ========================================================= However, Rx_Receiver_Sensitivity is used as a magnitude, and a negative value hints at a misunderstanding about how it is used. IBISCHK should warn for negative values, with a message such as: Negative Rx_Receiver_Sensitivity value -0.1 should be positive, only the magnitude is used.
