We report our experimental investigations of the influence of differential telescope-pointing errors on data corruption in an optical stellar interferometer. This effect was investigated theoretically as a function of the telescope antenna diagram, which depends on the aperture diameter. Using a laboratory breadboard consisting of a three-telescope array, we carried out the experiments with various aperture diameters and complex objects. The results matched the simulation and demonstrate that, when there is no error in pointing, a large aperture size induces correctible error but that, with a pointing error, data corruption becomes critical. In both cases, the larger the apertures, the more corrupt the data.
