<strong>AdfinX</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Time</strong> <strong>1.0</strong> <strong>Library</strong> - <strong>User</strong>'s <strong>Guide</strong><br />
1. INTRODUCING ADFINX REAL TIME <strong>1.0</strong> LIBRARY<br />
1.1. OVERVIEW<br />
1.1.1. Accessing <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Time</strong> Data<br />
The <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Time</strong> ActiveX Component <strong>Library</strong> (AdxRtxLib) provides a number of components allowing<br />
user applications to retrieve and contribute real time data sources. The components that AdxRtxLib<br />
supplies provide dual interfaces.<br />
While it is compatible with most DDE servers, <strong>AdfinX</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Time</strong> can also be directly interfaced with<br />
real time data sources, such as <strong>Reuters</strong> Triarch or TIB/Rendezvous.<br />
Four data object components are provided. These are AdxRtList, AdxRtContribute,<br />
AdxRtHistory and AdxRtChain.<br />
1.1.2. Settings File<br />
To fit <strong>AdfinX</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Time</strong> to your needs, the file m_rtuser.dat holds user data settings related to real<br />
time. This file allows the user to define <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Time</strong> drivers, field separators, and the path for the log file.<br />
