Replicating a channel creates a copy of the data in a channel and splits the channel into two outgoing channels that connect to two different reader endpoints. LabVIEW represents the copy version of reader endpoint as a Replicate endpoint of the same channel template. A replicate endpoint has one channel input and two channel outputs. Each of the two channel outputs receives a separate copy of the data from the channel input, and each reads its own separate copy of data.

The following illustration demonstrates a replicate channel of the Stream template.
