    --                                     type of delay passed.  In the case of

    --                  modification.  
    --
    --                  For the six delay value, VitalDelayType01Z, the output 
    --                  value is scheduled with a calculated delay.  The drive 
    --                  strength can be modified to handle weak signal strengths
    --                  to model tri-state devices, pull-ups and pull-downs as
    --                  an example.
    --
    --                  The correspondence between the delay type and the
    --                  path delay function is as follows:
    --
    --                  Delay Type                Path Type
    --

    --
    --                  For each of these routines, the following capabilities
    --                  is provided:
    --     
    --                  o Transition dependent path delay selection
    --                  o User controlled glitch detection with the ability
    --                    to generate "X" on output and report the violation
    --                  o Control of the severity level for message generation
    --                  o Scheduling of the computed values on the specified
    --                    signal.
    --                  
    --                  Selection of the appropriate path delay begins with the
    --                  candidate paths.  The candidate paths are selected by
    --                  identifying the paths for which the PathCondition is 
    --                  true.  If there is a single candidate path, then that
    --                  delay is selected.  If there is more than one candidate
    --                  path, then the shortest delay is selected using 
    --                  transition dependent delay selection.  If there is no 
    --                  candidate paths, then the delay specified by the 
    --                  DefaultDelay parameter to the path delay is used.
    --                  
    --                  Once the delay is known, the output signal is then
    --                  scheduled with that delay.  In the case of 
    --                  VitalPathDelay01Z, an additional result mapping of
    --                  the output value is performed before scheduling.  The

    -- Function Name:   VitalRecoveryRemovalCheck
    --
    -- Description:     The VitalRecoveryRemovalCheck detects the presence of
    --                  a recovery or removal violation on the input test 
    --                  signal with respect to the corresponding input reference
    --                  signal.  It assumes non-negative values of setup and
    --                  hold timing constraints.  The timing constraint is 
    --                  specified through parameters representing the recovery
    --                  and removal times associated with a reference edge of 
    --                  the reference signal.  A flag indicates whether a test
    --                  signal is asserted when it is high or when it is low.
    --                  
    --                  It is assumed that negative timing constraints 
    --                  are handled by internally delaying the test or 
    --                  reference signals.  Negative recovery times result in 
    --                  a delayed reference signal.  Negative removal times 
    --                  result in a delayed test signal.  Furthermore, the 
    --                  delays and constraints associated with these and
    --                  other signals may need to be appropriately
    --                  adjusted so that all constraint intervals overlap 
    --                  the delayed reference signals and all constraint
    --                  values (with respect to the delayed signals) are
    --                  non-negative.

    -- Function Name:  VitalInPhaseSkewCheck
    --
    -- Description:    The VitalInPhaseSkewCheck procedure detects an in-phase
    --                 skew violation between input signals Signal1 and Signal2.
    --                 This is a timer based skew check in which a
    --                 violation is detected if Signal1 and Signal2 are in
    --                 different logic states longer than the specified skew 
    --                 interval.
    --
    --                 The timing constraints are specified through parameters
    --                 representing the skew values for the different states
    --                 of Signal1 and Signal2.
