Does MS-II interpolate between table data points?

I'm certain this is explained in great depth somewhere... but I cannot seem to find it. I just wondering if the MS-II (or any MS for that matter) interpolates between table data points or if the 12 x 12 tables work in a stepwise fashion.

Thanks - Chris

Yes, all MS code variants interpolate between bins.

Thanks. Do you know where I can find information about the interpolation?

ie, resolution and method

The table interpolation is done in integer arithmetic, so that sets the resolution. It is a 4 point interpolation with the algorithm taken from Abramowitz and Stegun. If you search the code for the function intrp_2dctable you will see the algorithm.
