Reading IEEE 754 format strings directly into a floating point array

[Madhusudan Singh]

I am querying an instrument in a measurement application.

The values are returned as IEEE format binary floating point numbers. There
are 4 bytes per point. Multiple points are not separated by any delimiter.

Is it possible to read these directly into a floating point array of the
size of the string ?

Alternatively, I could write a routine to do it, but wanted to find out if
there was a simpler solution.
