Description

Interpolation is a method of estimating and constructing new data points from a discrete set of known data points. This function generates uniform linear spaced interpolated curve by three methods: Linear, Cubic spline and Cubic B-spline.

To use this function:

Create a new worksheet with input data.
Select Analysis: Mathematics: Interpolate/Extrapolate. This opens interp1XY dialog.

In fact, the interpxy X-Function is called to complete the calculation.

Dialog Options

Input	Specifies the XY range to be interpolated.
Method	Specify the interpolation/extrapolation method. Linear Linear interpolation is a fast method of estimating a data point by constructing a line between two neighboring data points. The resulting point may not be an accurate estimation of the missing dat. Cubic Spline This method splits the input data into a given number of pieces, and fits each segment with a cubic polynomial. The second derivative of each cubic function is set equal to zero. With these boundary conditions met, an entire function can be constructed in a piece-wise manner. Cubic B-Spline This method also splits the input data into pieces, each segment is fitted with discrete Bezier splines.
Number of Points	Specifies the number of interpolated points.
X Minimum	The minimum X value of interpolated curve.
X Maximum	The maximum X value of interpolated curve.
Apparent Interpolation	It is available only when the interpolation is performed on a graph. It specifies whether to use the apparent values for interpolation if the types of the axes scales have been changed to other types.
Output	Specifies the output XY data range
