Setting up Currency Server to Work with Data Provided by Xenon Laboratories Inc.

TOPIC

Q: How do I quickly configure Currency Server to work with my XE.com data feed subscription?

DISCUSSION

A: Xenon Laboratories Inc. (XE.com) makes available exchange rate data in a variety of protocols and formats. Currency Server supports the CSV (comma-separated values) and XML formats of Xenon Laboratories' Data Feed Service. We recommend to ask for EUR as the base currency unit when subscribing to the service.

The XE.com User Name, which is required to access the data in CSV format, can be entered during the setup of Currency Server:

After Currency Server has been installed, open Currency Server Manager to make sure that the correct server configuration and User Name are set in the FX Feeds tab:
