Hi all,
I am using an Agilent 33220A Arb. Generator.
I am using VEE to upload 10399 points defining a custom made waveform.
According to the manual the default interpolation is linear.
But I can see that the interpolation is OFF (from the front panel and output waveform), that means a "step-like" waveform.
Why and how can I change this to linear interpolation.
The manual states that this is only possible to change from the front panel but this is not possible (no change).
I upload the points as one binary block!
Can it be something related to the number of points ?
When I ask "Data:Attribute:points?" I get 10399
The manual states that it will expand the number of points to 16384 or 65536 points !
Venlig hilsen, Terveisin, Kind regards

The linear interpolation referred to in the manual is only used when the waveform points are entered from the front panel. Suppose you want a ramp with 10 steps. You only have to enter the voltages for the start and stop times and if interpolation is on, the arb will calculate the points in between. If interpolation is off, the voltage will jump from start to stop value. Older versions of ths product required you to enter all 11 points.
