Interpolate Data dialog box

Interpolates a function to compute additional data points.

Qualifying Records table
Qualifying Records Displays the available AFU records.
Show All Displays all records in the loaded AFU.If you clear this check box, the table displays only the functions available that can be processed by the conversion.
AFU Name column Lists the AFU loaded to the model.
Record Name column Lists the record identifier.
Function Type column Lists the function type (Frequency, Time, and so on).
Abs Unit column Lists the abscissa (X-axis) units.
Ord Unit column Lists the ordinate (Y-axis) units.
Add AFU Records Adds a function to the table.Select the function from a loaded AFU file in the XY Function Navigator and click .
Remove AFU Records Removes a function from the table.Select the function in the table and click .
Input Parameters
Number of Intervals Selects the number of intervals for the resulting record.128(27)**Uses 128 intervals.256(28)**Uses 256 intervals.512(29)**Uses 512 intervals.1024(210)**Uses 1024 intervals.2048(211)**Uses 2048 intervals.4096(212)**Uses 4096 intervals.8192(213)**Uses 8192 intervals.16384(214)**Uses 16384 intervals.32768(215)**Uses 32768 intervals.65536(216)**Uses 65536 intervals.
Interpolation Method Specifies the interpolation method for the axis values. For example, if you select Log-Log, the Abscissa and Ordinate values will be interpolated using a log scale.Linear-LinearThe Abscissa and Ordinate values are interpolated using a linear scale.Log-LogThe Abscissa and Ordinate values are interpolated using a log scale.Log-LinearThe Abscissa values are interpolated using a log scale and the Ordinate values are interpolated using a linear scale.Linear-LogThe Abscissa values are interpolated using a linear scale and the Ordinate values are interpolated using a log scale.
Output
Output Setting Specifies how the software should write the resulting data in the AFU file. Output options:AppendAppends the new function to an existing function.OverwriteOverwrites an existing function with the new function.Other AFUSelects a new AFU file in which to save the function.
AFU File Appears when Output is set to Other AFU.Sets the path and file name of the AFU file where the resulting data will be saved.You can also click Browse to select the file location.
