sorry about that stupid email adress. In my office I've to use a html-frontend
(www.newsranger.com) for reading news, cause our firewall don't let the
news-protocol through. Might be better now, cause I've changed some settings.
If not my email-adress is oliver.tonn at web.de

I want to plot the characteristic line of some electronic devices (e.g. diodes,
thyristors, varistors). The problen is, that for many devices there is no
function that could discribe there characteristic. So the only way to plot one
is to get some points out of the data sheet and interpolate the rest.
My big problem till now was, that mathematica seems to have problems with the
interpolation, if the value of the x-axis isn't going only in one direction
(e.g. x,y {1,0.5},{2,0.5},{3,0.5},{3,0.7},{2.5,3},{2,9}).
I tried do use Excel instead, but the resolution of the curve is too bad.
Greetings Oliver
