#'Conversion of 'startR_array' or 'list' objects to 's2dv_cube'
#'
#'This function converts data loaded using startR package or s2dverification Load function into a 's2dv_cube' object.

#'@param object a object of class 'startR_array' generated function \code{Start} from startR package (version 0.1.3 from earth.bsc.es/gitlab/es/startR) or a list output from function \code{Load} from s2dverification package.
#'
#'@return The function returns a 's2dv_cube' object to be easily used with functions \code{CST} from CSTools package.
