Curve Math Operations - Interpolation

Use interpolation to resample your data at an even interval. Interpolation is intended to fit more data points to a small number of existing data points, but you may increase or decrease the number of points. Based on the existing range and the number of points specified, if a new value on the abscissa (that is, "x" value) is computed, a corresponding new value for the ordinate (that is, "y" value) is computed based on the interpolation method chosen.
The data is always displayed using an AKIMA spline.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Method
Select one of the following interpolation options: akima, linear, cubic, spline, notaknot, and hermite. For more information on spline methods, see the Adams Solver online help, and Numerical Recipes in C, published by Cambridge University Press.
Points
Enter the number of points you want to have in the interpolated spline.
