    Hi

Thanks for help

Using a queue is an easy method of streaming in labview.  Have the sender queue the binary data (a boolean array for 1 bit at a time upto a 32bit Uint depending on the chunk size you wish to send.)  in a seperate vi or parallel loop (thread) read from the queue, here is a very controlable data stream which will allow for asynchronous transfer.

Hello Mudassar,

Depending on the size of the chunks there are a variety of ways to do this.  Queus are the best way because you will not lose data.  You can also just pass the data in through wires or use variables.  Just create an array of booleans by using a constant or a build array.  You will then be able to use the completed array as the data type for a queue or as the information for a variable.
