Using RTD DB

This guide explains how to run RTD DB, configure the connection, and begin collecting data in your database.

Initial Setup

Before using RTD DB, review the following resources:

• Concept – Understand how RTD DB operates and the underlying mechanisms.
• Configuring Tables – Define the data mapping for your tables.

Next, proceed to:

• Database Templates – Access ready-to-use SQL scripts for creating and configuring data tables.

Once prepared, follow these steps:

1. Start RTD DB.
2. Set your connection string using Connection Manager from the File menu.
3. Click the Start button to initiate data collection.

Upon successful setup, the main interface will appear as shown below:

In this example, four tables are updated with incoming real-time data from the RTD server, with values written to your database in real time.

For a detailed description of the UI, refer to User Interface.

By default, RTD DB minimizes to the system tray. Use the tray icon to restore the window.
