# Set Up Datastreams
## **Add Datastream**
For the goal of this tutorial skip the Metadata Tab and go directly to Datastreams tab in your Template.
Datastreams are channels that are used to send data between the device and Blynk.Cloud. We will be using this Datastream to send random values from your device.
Click on **Add Datastream** button. Choose **Virtual Pin** in the dropdown menu:
Set up the Datastream like this:
* **Name:** Random Value Send
* **Virtual Pin:** V0
* **Data Type:** Integer
* **Min/Max:** 0/100
Skip all the other settings. When done, press Create and the new Datastream will be created.
These settings mean that all the devices that inherit this Template will process `integers` in the range of `0 to 100` through a `Virtual Pin V0`
## **Add a Second Datastream**
Click on **Add Datastream** button again. Choose **Enumerable** type in the dropdown menu and set up the Datastream. We will be using this Datastream to send a value from mobile and web dashboards to the device.
* **Name:** Button
* **Virtual Pin:** V1
* Add **Row1:** 0, OFF
* Add **Row2:** 1, ON
Skip all the other settings and press **Create**
These settings mean that all devices that inherit this Template will process values `integers` in the range of `0 to 1` through a `Virtual Pin V1`and Blynk will interpret `0` as `OFF` and `1` as `ON` strings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.blynk.io/en/getting-started/template-quick-setup/set-up-datastreams.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
