Discussion:
a. IBISCHK8 parser contract draft 5 – review updated draft
   Randy showed a new draft of the contract. This draft adds some content for 
   BUG251 and BIRD229.1. The additional information for BIRD229.1 expanded the 
   description of parsing the referenced test data files to define what should 
   be checked in each file type. The additional file parsing and checking 
   might increase the quote for work from Atul.
   The AMI_input_parameters_file has multiple parameters. Randy added some 
   information for what the parser should check and the conditions for the 
   checks. The group added text to define a check that the parameter values in 
   the test string comply with the type, format and values in the actual AMI 
   file.
   There was some discussion and editing of the requirements for -1 values in 
   Clock_input_file. Weston asked if the requirement that an input file have 
   at least 1 row in sufficient. The specification has this requirement, so 
   the test follows how the specification is written.
   Randy asked Michael to clarify the usage of the output string in the 
   AMI_output_parameters_file. If there is a single block from the Init 
   function, how is that coordinated with the numbered blocks of output data 
   from the Get_Wave function? The BIRD text will be edited in the editorial 
   task group, and then this group will update the parser contract accordingly.
