Channel Wire Endpoints

By connecting a channel writer endpoint to a reader endpoint using a channel wire, you build a channel. The channel wire endpoints operate on the channel in the following way: the writer endpoints write data to the channel, and reader endpoints read data from the channel. You can use the channel wire endpoints to write or read data between parallel sections of code. LabVIEW provides several channel templates. Each template expresses a different communications protocol to use between the writers and readers. Choose which channel template to use based on your communications needs.

Create a channel endpoint by right-clicking a terminal or a wire and selecting Create»Channel Writer or Create»Channel Reader. When you create an endpoint from a terminal, you instantiate the channel template with that data type as its transmission type.
