# Changing RTD Throttle Interval in Excel

The default throttle interval is set at 2000 milliseconds. To change it in the Excel, please follow steps below:

1. In Excel, go to the Visual Basic Editor by pressing **ALT + F11**.

2. Open the **Immediate Window**  and type this code:\
   \
   \&#xNAN;**`Application.RTD.ThrottleInterval=0`**\
   \
   (**Note**: If the **Immediate Window** is not open, press **CTRL + G** to display the window.)

3. Make sure your cursor is on the line that you just typed and then press **ENTER**.\
   (**Note**:  The '**(0)**' can be amended to adjust the desired rate.)

4. To verify that it is set correctly, type this line of code on the **Immediate Window**:\
   \
   \&#xNAN;**`? Application.RTD.ThrottleInterval`**

5. Make sure your cursor is at the end of this line and then press **ENTER**. The window should display 0; then you know that your throttle interval is set correctly.
