MODELS INCLUDED IN THIS TOOLKIT 
-------------------------------
The Model included in this toolkit is a RX Continuous Time Filter (CTF) and is named 
IBIS_AMI_RX.dll
In the present version, only the RX model is provided.

INTRODUCTION
------------
This RX model does not have clock recovery and has fixed coefficients. The INIT function in
the model does not modify the impulse response. A waveform passed to the GetWave call will
undergo equalization.

In summary,
-The model does not modify the impulse response in the init call.
-It does not write a clk output.
-Tested for 5.0 GBPS data rate.


MODIFYING THE MODELS
--------------------
A very basic method of modifying the model is to vary the parameters that the model accepts.
The parameters of the IBIS_AMI_RX.dll is stored in the .ami file IBIS_AMI_RX.ami .

Advanced users can add or modify a function in the INIT or GetWave functions to alter the
behavior of the model.
