## SYNOPSIS

msg = mtd16.fromData([data])

## DESCRIPTION

Creates a new message instance suitable for decoding a MTD16 message. The object is initialized with the passed binary data.

## RETURN VALUE

A new message buffer instance.

## NOTES

This also returns a message buffer instance even if the passed data is not a properly encoded MTD16 message. You can use mtd16:isValid to check if the message can be decoded.

## EXAMPLE

> >
msg = mtd16.fromData("\x0B\x00\x0F\xF0\x07\x00\x01\x30XYZZY") print(msg:trace())
0xF00F=(0x3001="XYZZY")
