Attendees: Gerald Chan, Ric Dokken, Scott Franzen, Carey Garrenton, Greg Maston, Jim O'Reilly, Ernie Wahl Line and clause numbers if any are with regard to STIL.4 syntax document D02 dated October 31, 2016. ================================================================================ OLD BUSINESS: 1. Clause "32. TestType Definition": REPLACE: For each standard-defined test-type, STIL.4 or STIL.5 shall describe its function and how it uses its parameters to perform that function. WITH: Each standard-defined test-type shall be accompanied by a description of its function and how it uses its parameters to perform that function. That description should enable replicating test results across various ATE with identical electrical properties. 2. Insert in clause "21.1 Literal Values" after 2nd paragraph (rewritten from May 9, 2016 doc, Line 662): User-data AMPERES, CELSIUS, DECIBELS, DEGREES, FARADS, HENRIES, HERTZ, METERS, OHMS, SECONDS, VOLTS, and WATTS represent literal values with appropriate units, e.g., 100mA for AMPERES. PERCENT represents an integer or REAL followed by a percent sign, e.g., 5%. REAL represents a floating point number without units, e.g., 0.05. 3. Add "Node" to clause "3. Definitions": used to describe a node in a directed flow graph (flow-node) or an electrical node in a circuit 4. Syntax BNF inconsistently uses ::=, :=, and =, 7/5/2016 consensus: use ::= for BNF 5. Meta-type "next_stmt" is not defined in Syntax Document 6. Review Annex D: determine whether it’s appropriate for this standard. Goal is to have ONLY informative Annexes. ================================================================================ DISCUSSION: STIL.4 seen as pure data or code with semantics, perhaps the delineation between basic vs FlowExtended. Some agree that there is reason to believe that both can be accommodated. STIL.4 basic seen as the predominant ATE usage, FlowExtended covering useful but less common cases, i.e., try to maintain basic as a subset of FlowExtended. ================================================================================ CONSENSUS: 1. 5087 - 5092: Ric to propose wording that makes it clear that a TestType (a.k.a. test-method) is referenced (not defined and/or instantiated) and that the referenced TestType need not be defined before use, an exception to the norm. 2. 5112: Ric to propose alternate syntax to clarify TestType is a reference, not an instantiation 3. Proposed: TestType definition become FlowExtended. ================================================================================ ACTION ITEMS: Ric: CONSENSUS item 1 - 2 ================================================================================
