    I think there is something wrong with your file. I reproduced your result with v101.6, but when I included only the first 1000 values it worked okay. It looks like the only problem with interpolate is not finding and flagging the error. I will look more closely at your file, but I wanted to share this with you now.

    Thank you for including the file test.ans.

    The nan is probably what you got and is clearly wrong.

    Dear,

    When I was trying to use SAC to interpolate unevenly-spaced data to evenly-spaced data, I got a trouble.

    ("test.ans" is my unevenly-spaced data.)

      Dear Wangxin,

      Your file has a duplicate time value

      % awk '{print $1}' test.ans | sort | uniq -d
      243.6050

      % grep 243.6050 test.ans
      243.6050 -0.1160
      243.6050 -0.1193

      The unevenly spaced interpolation routine should handle this properly, but does not. The routine relies on the computation of slope dy/dt and if the time value between your points is zero, the slope and all values derived from the slope become inf or nan. This includes the interpolated amplitude.

      We will work on a fix for this. An easy, but non optimal, fix for this is to average your duplicate points.

      Brian
