TEST MATRIX

Hello Fellow IBISans:

     As promised during Friday's open forum here is a test matrix of the
major functions/features of IBIS 2.x. The spec has been broken into
smaller sections, with various tests for each section/keyword. I have filled
the matrix out the best I can with the testing I have done. As you finish
your testing of a specific section post your results to the reflector (please,
refer to the section and test covered) and I will update and post the matrix
at regular intervals. Don't be afraid to add more tests to a particlular section
-- I don't pretend that the matrix is all inclusive.

     So far I have been concentrating on the waveform tables and pin
mapping. Bob Ross has done some work with the Diff pin keyword and ECL.
Please note that this test matrix covers only the "user visable" portion
of the parser, at this point testing out the contents of the data structure
is left to the the simulator vendors. Have fun......

                          Regards,
