It is not totally clear what the goal is......

For collecting scalars into arrays - the Compress record already does this. Bad name, I know, but it also compresses waveform records. So if the input is an array, it does successive averages or filters high,low,average. If the input is a scalar, it is a circular buffer. If all you want to do is take a scalar, and create a histogram, there is a histogram record.

The subroutine record - as Stephanie points out - also gives you a way to take one or several arrays, and manipulate them to create a result (or several results)

If you are trying to marshal many scalars into an array, then there are more questions before answers. Do you need location? Status for each channel? Time stamp or time difference from some reference? Does one channel become the reference? We are working on this type of support to create a suite of tools right now at NSLS. Hopefully, we have some progress to report at the May meeting in Aix.

If you only need a plug in EDM, look at the CALC example. If has channel access on one side and creates a result on the other side.
