-* convert(): Convert a LOG_BIN? array of binary data into useful data
**
** Converts BCD values to integer, raw floating point values into float
** values usable under the Intel x86 (IBM PC) architecture.
**
** Inputs:
** src Array of binary data, from LOG_BIN? query
** length Number of bytes in src array
**
** Outputs:
** timestamp[] Set to decimal timestamp values
** misc[] Set to temp units, rate, and digital I/O values
** values[] Set to floating point values found in binary data
** (must be room for a maximum of 22 floats)
