The Ibis Model Dialog.

Summary
This dialog allows designer to edit Ibis model.

Access
Access the implementation editor for this model type anywhere that models can be defined for a
schematic component:
 From the Models region of the Sch Library panel.
From the Models region of the Schematic Library Editor workspace.
From within the Model Manager dialog (in the Schematic Library editor).
From the Models region of the Properties for Schematic Component dialog.

Options/Controls
Ibis Model

Name - Specify the name for the model – exactly as it appears within the .ibs file – and give
the model link a meaningful name, perhaps describing what the implementation in this domain
represents.
Browse - If you are unsure of the name, use the Browse button to access the Browse
Libraries dialog. Use this dialog to browse IBIS model files across all currently Available Libraries
(Project libraries, Installed libraries, and libraries found along specified search paths). Use
the Find feature in this dialog if the required model files are not part of the currently Available
Libraries.
Pin Map - The mapping of schematic component pins to IBIS model pins is defined in the Model
Map dialog, accessed by clicking the Pin Map button.
Description - Specify the description of the IBIS model.

Ibis File Location

Options are available in this region of the IBIS Model dialog with which to specify how the software is
to locate the model – provided the model name is defined:

Any – all Available Libraries (project libraries, installed libraries and libraries found along
defined search paths) are used to look for the model.
File name – enter the full file name in which the model resides (e.g. ThisFile.ibs). All
Available Libraries are used to look for the model. If not found here, the default library path
(Library Path field on the System – Default Locations page of the Preferences dialog) will
be interrogated to see if the named file can be found there.
File path – enter the full path/name of the file. Click the Choose button to browse to the file.
This option will always find the model, since it is explicit (provided of course the file remains in
that directory!).
Integrated/Database Library – post-placement, if the component is placed from an
integrated or database library, the model can be sourced directly from that same library,
provided the library is part of the Available Libraries set.

Pin Models

Pin Models Region - This region of the dialog present a view-only listing of the pin models
defined for the chosen IBIS model.
Model Type - Click to change the Model Type from the default Typical Case, to
either Strong Case or Weak Case respectively.

Model Selectors

The Model Selectors region of the dialog will be populated if the chosen IBIS model has model
selectors in it. This allows you to choose which model to use (e.g. a pin might have models for
different voltage levels; 3.3V, 5V etc).
