The five SYSTem:CORRection:INTerpolate:LINear commands are used as a sequence. They are not meant to be used independent of the others. The commands perform linear interpolation on a scalar data of (x,y) pairs based on a master set of x and y values to a new mapping based on a desired set of x values. The desired set of x values (or range) must fall within the master set of x values (or range) and can have a different number of points than the master data set.
Linear interpolation operates by drawing a straight line between each two adjacent data points on the master (x,y) pairs that fall on either side of the new desired data point represented by (x’,y’). in other words if
(xi, yi) represents data pairs on the master data set and (xj’,yj’) represents a data point on the interpolated result data set then:
Xi < Xj’ < Xi+1 and Yj’ = Yi + [(Yi+1 – Yi)/(Xi+1 – Xi)] (Xj’ – Xi)
Note: The master data set must represent a function on the Cartesian coordinate system. In other words, for each x value in the master data set, there can be only one corresponding Y value.
There are five steps in the sequence:
SYSTem:CORRection:INTerpolate:LINear:INPut:X - loads in the master X values
SYSTem:CORRection:INTerpolate: LINear:INPut:Y - loads in the master Y values
SYSTem:CORRection:INTerpolate: LINear:OUTput:X - loads in the desired interpolated X values
SYSTem:CORRection:INTerpolate: LINear:CALCulate - calculates the interpolated Y values
SYSTem:CORRection:INTerpolate: LINear:OUTput:Y? - reads back the interpolated Y values.
The following function uses the SYSTem:CORRection:INTerpolate: LINear commands:
Function InterpolateData_Single(inputX() As Double, inputY() As Single, outputX() As Double, ByRef interpData() As Single) x = visa_io.ag_send_binBlock64("SYST:CORR:INT:LIN:INP:X ", inputX) x = visa_io.ag_send_binBlock("SYST:CORR:INT:LIN:INP:Y ", inputY) x = visa_io.ag_send_binBlock64("SYST:CORR:INT:LIN:OUTP:X ", outputX) x = visa_io.ag_send_rd("*OPC?") x = visa_io.ag_send_wait("SYST:CORR:INT:LIN:CALC") x = visa_io.ag_send_rd("*OPC?") interpData = visa_io.ag_send_rd_binBlock("SYST:CORR:INT:LIN:OUTP:Y?")
