Investor/RT Getting Started Guide

The Investor/RT Getting Started Guide is a great resource for the new Investor/RT user.  This guide will provide you with a brief overview of the windows you will encounter in the program, along with step-by-step instructions for:

  • Setting up each type of window
  • Registering the software
  • Setting up your data feed
  • Troubleshooting tips for each data service.

Once you familiarize yourself with the software using the Getting Started Guide, you may want to take a look a the Concepts and Facilities Guide below.

Several options for downloading and viewing the Getting Started Guide appear at the top of this page.


Investor/RT Concepts and Facilities Guide

The Concepts and Facilities Guide first provides a general overview of Investor/RT, defining key concepts and introducing the user to the kinds of window objects that Investor/RT uses to track the markets. Then, a detailed description of each window object type is provided (charts, portfolios, quote pages, ticker tapes, news browsers, etc.). While the online help documentation built into Investor/RT is designed to provide on-the-spot assistance while using the product, the User Guide will help the new user of Investor/RT gain an understanding of the overall organization of the software and how the various components of the software work together to accomplish particular tasks. This document is new and should be consider a "draft". We encourage and welcome your feedback on the User Guide. Please e-mail comments and suggestions for improving the guide to support@linnsoft.com

Investor/RT What's New Reference

We have prepared a new document called the What's New Reference. This Adobe Acrobat Reader (PDF) file is a compendium of all of the What's New help topics. The document is at this time more than 300 pages long. It has a detailed, searchable table of contents. Clicking on a table of contents entry takes you directly to the text of the corresponding item. Further, the entire document is searchable by keyword or phrase. It is an excellent way to look up a description of some feature and all of the enhancements made to that feature in ensuing releases of Investor/RT. The document can be downloaded from www.linnsoft.com\dl. Scroll down to the bottom of the Quick Download Center web page and click to download the Windows (.zip) or Macintosh (.hqx) file. This document will be updated periodically as new releases of Investor/RT are issued on an ongoing basis. Please e-mail comments and suggestions for improving the reference to support@linnsoft.com
