Changing RTD throttle interval
By default, Excel will request real time data from RTD server at an interval of 2 seconds.
We will change the throttle interval to 0, so that Excel will update quotes in real time.
To Change RTD Interval:
- In Excel, go to the Visual Basic Editor by pressing ALT+F11
- Once you are in Visual Basic Editor, Press CTRL+G to open Immediate Window
- Once you are in Immediate Window, Type the below command and Press enter
- Application.RTD.ThrottleInterval = 0
To Check whether the interval is updated or not:
- Type the below command in Immediate Window and Press enter
- ? Application.RTD.ThrottleInterval
- The above command will return 0; if not 0 again set the interval as mentioned above
