Ok, so can I create three queues, write the same value to each queue and read from one of the queues? Like this ..

you need a bit of data dependancy on the releas queue functions!  they will fire as soon as the queues are created!  wire error in from the producer loop output.   But, that is another way to get your desired operation.

That looks good. I think I have another solution, modified from code on a different thread on the forum, which makes arrays of queues ..

Careful!  elements in an array must have the same data type!  so all of the queues are forced to use the same data type.  It can cause a mainteance headache if one of the consumers starts needing to do more things.  Yet, it solves this example well

I guess it could use an array of clusters

That doesn't get around the limitation- the clusters in an array must be identical!

Your attached vi cannot be stopped.  Press the stop button, nothing happens.  Your event structure is waiting for an event.  You need to add a Timeout case with nothing in it.  Also add a Stop Value Change event.  Put the stop button in this event case.  Wire a true constant out to the stop sign.  This is better stop handling.
