2003-06-09 Thread Robert . Gillatt
I have been trying to get a report out using the SI tool to provide info for an SDRAM interface. I have IBIS models and some results look useful. All the same I am going nuts trying to sort out some less than well documented aspects of the process. An SI report (Menu ReportsSI) tells me that I

I have to agree with you here. All the same I don't really care what the managers do with our engineering docs so long as the documents are effective and assist the work. At the same time, dealing with suppliers whose service has been limp, I have been able to get a lot of leverage and a hot line
