RTI Spreadsheet Add-in for Microsoft Excel

RTI Spreadsheet Add-in for Microsoft Excel provides turnkey, bi-directional integration between RTI Connext DDS and Microsoft Excel. It allows cells, formulas and charts to include subscriptions to real-time data streams, such as market data and sensor data, with values updated automatically and in real-time. Formula results can also be published in real-time to other applications and spreadsheets.

Data streams can be displayed in tabular form or the values of specific fields can be incorporated into cells, formulas and charts

Applications

  • Real-time analytics and data visualization
  • Collaboration between Excel users
  • Introspection, status and health monitoring of Connext DDS applications
  • Data injection (write back)
  • Simulation of system components using Excel formulas

Features and Benefits

  • Allows Excel's powerful analytic and visualization capabilities to be incorporated into real-time systems
  • No custom integration code required
  • Self-contained within an Excel Add-in, requires no separate service or gateway
  • Easy to use, deploy and administer
  • Takes advantage of Excel Real-Time Data (RTD) capability
  • Low latency

Easy to Use, Deploy and Administer

RTI Spreadsheet Add-in exploits the advanced capabilities of Connext DDS to integrate seamlessly into existing systems. It requires little or no configuration. The add-in automatically discovers available data streams and schemas. In addition, there is no need for external servers or gateways. Spreadsheets communicate peer-to-peer with other applications for low latency and simple deployment and administration.

Wizards allow easy creation of publications and subscriptions using a point-and-click interface.

Extending the Power of DDS

RTI Spreadsheet Add-in for Microsoft Excel extends the capabilities of Connext DDS the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) middleware standard that it supports. It allows spreadsheets to participate seamlessly as peers on a DDS "real-time software bus" along with applications written in C, C++, Java, .NET and Ada; Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines; databases; and mobile and embedded devices.

The ease with which spreadsheets can interoperate with other DDS applications illustrates the flexibility of the DDS standard's data-centric approach to messaging and application integration.
