Yes, the 50 ohms to VCC and 50 ohms to gnd fixtures are used to extract
the data for the [Ramp] table, but the other two conditions are used to
provides further detail about the switching characteristics of the
buffer, so the simulator can build a better model. I don't belive the
cookbook says these waveforms are used only for corelation.
