# `hist_buffer2array`

`hist_buffer2array` -- generates an array from a binary buffer of historian data.

## Syntax

    hist_buffer2array (buffer)

## Parameters

`buffer`

  A binary buffer of X-Y pairs of doubles, as created by a call to `hist_buffer_id_read`.

## Returns

An array of instances of the class `HI_stVALUE`, containing the data in buffer.

## Description

This utility function simplifies access to a binary buffer of Cascade Historian data by creating an array of the data. Array access may be programmatically more convenient than using repeated calls to `hist_access_buffer`, as well as providing about 15% better performance.

## Example

        b = hist_read_buffer_id(historian,0);
        a = hist_buffer2array (b);
        n = length(a);
        for (i=0; i< n; i++)
            princ (a[i], "\n");
