[IBIS] RE: [IBIS-Users] Touchstone File Format Spec.

Hi Tony:

 

   Yes, the Touchstone File Format Spec doc is copyright by the EIA/IBIS
Open Forum and rev 1.1 is the latest and current version.  And yes,
apparently version 1.1 was never officially voted on by the Open Forum.
I found the following paragraph from the Sept. 12, 2003 Open Forum
minutes (it was at this meeting the ICM spec was approved). 

 

Some concerns were raised regarding whether the Agilent Touchstone(TM)

document written by the Open Forum required an approval vote.  The

Open Forum members agreed that, until further information was received

from Agilent regarding the draft 1.2 document, no further action should

be taken on approving the Agilent Touchstone(TM) document.

 

As far as I can tell, the rev 1.2 spec was never perused. Off hand, I
cannot say what the difference between rev. 1.1 and 1.2 was, but I doubt
it was major.

 

It might be worthwhile for the Open Forum to make rev 1.1 official.

 

Regards,

Subject: [IBIS-Users] Touchstone File Format Spec.

 

Hi,

 

The Touchstone File Format Specification copyright is held by the
EIA/IBIS Open Forum. At least, as far as I can tell that's the case,
given the footnote on the cover of the latest revision of the spec. I
can find.

 

That revision is 'Rev 1.1', dated 10/1/2003, and is marked 'DRAFT'.

 

Is there anyone who can confirm that is the latest and current version?
Is there any current work underway to move the spec. beyond the draft
version?

 

I'm curious because the date seems so old to me and it's still in draft
form after all this time.

 

Thanks!

Tony
