== Configuring Data Sources ==
Most data sources have unique parameters, e.g. server IP address, port, user name/login information, etc. See the [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /102_Builtin_DataSources.html name=""; |Built-in Data Sources]] section for more detailed descriptions.
All the parameters for the integrated data sources are described there.
To edit a data source's settings:
# Open '''QuoteManager''' window
#* see [[:Category:QuoteManager#Opening QuoteManager|how]]
# On the '''Tools''' menu, click '''Data Sources''', or click the '''Data Sources''' http://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/QM/07_DataSources.png icon on the toolbar.
# Select the data source using the keyboard or mouse and click the '''Settings''' button.
== Cloning Data Sources ==
<div style="background-color: #ffc0cb;">'''This functionality is supported for Universal DDE data source only. Please do not clone any other data provider.'''</div>
To use a data source with different sets of settings it must be cloned. Cloning creates a virtual copy of the data source with modified parameters. For instance, to receive data from several DDE data vendors one needs to have several DDE templates.
In this case for every DDE data feed a unique data source must be created. If there are two DDE data feeds, Universal DDE and Universal DDE 2 must be created and a DDE template selected for each.
<br>To enable ability to clone a data source:
# Go to Windows Registry Editor.
# Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TS Support\your MultiCharts version\QuoteManager
# Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named MC-13118.
# Set it to 1 in decimal system.
# To disable the option set it to 0.
# Restart the QuoteManager to have the option enabled.
