TXT files
The integrator can read simple text files generated by an external system or prepared in an agreed layout.
Which rate sources can you connect?
Import needs recognisable currency identifiers and buy and sell values. Choose an existing source and test its structure during your trial.
CSV files
CSV works well when the source exports an ordered table of currencies, buy rates, sell rates and additional columns.
XML files
XML lets you pass rates in a more descriptive structure, useful when integrating with systems that have a fixed export format.
HTML files
When rates are available in a local HTML file, the integrator can read selected data and send it to the board.
Websites
Choose a website with rates in readable HTML. JavaScript-generated data or images may require another integration method.
DCR Online panel
Buy and sell rates can also be edited manually in the panel when you need a simple start or a quick correction of one item.
Data flow
From a file or website to your rate board
The integrator on your computer reads a source and sends rates to your DCR account. Screens load your board; its layout is independent of the data format.
- Support for TXT, CSV, XML and HTML files as data sources for buy and sell rates.
- Fetching rates from selected websites.
- Mapping custom currency names to currencies supported by the board.
- Automatic rate scaling to the quantity and decimal places configured in DCR.
- One rate configuration can feed several screens or locations.
What do organized rate sources give you?
Keep your existing buy and sell rate source. Configure imports and currency mapping, then check the displayed values.
Less manual copying
Rates can reach the board from a file or another selected source instead of being retyped separately on each screen.
Files and websites
The same flow supports sources broader than one exchange office program: local files and website addresses with rates.
Better error control
A fixed source format and currency mapping reduce mistakes, typos and differences between source data and the board.
Value scaling
If the source gives 1 EUR = 4.2323 and the board should show quantity 100 with 2 decimal places, DCR converts it to 100 EUR = 423.23.
Manual entry or a data source for the board?
Enter rates in the panel for occasional changes. If data already exists in a file or website, try importing it.

| Area | Manual entry | DCR Online data sources |
|---|---|---|
| Rate source | The operator retypes values from a program, website or document. | The operator selects a file, panel or website as the source of buy and sell rates. |
| Data format | Each change depends on the attention of the person entering rates. | TXT, CSV, XML and HTML files can be read according to a repeatable layout. |
| Custom currency names | They require manual interpretation and can easily become inconsistent. | Mapping helps connect names from the source with currencies displayed on the board. |
| Quantity and precision | The operator must recalculate values if the source and board use a different quantity or number of decimal places. | DCR automatically converts values to the quantity and decimal places set on the board. |
| Several screens | Each screen may require a separate check. | Paired screens use data sent through one controlled flow. |
How to launch a rate source for the board?
First it is worth confirming the data format and board appearance. Then you can decide whether buy and sell rates will be entered manually or loaded from a file or website.
01
Create a test board
Create an account, choose currencies and check how rates will be presented on the screen.
02
Download and pair the integrator
Download DCR Integrator for Windows and pair it with your account. If you need to run the integrator on another system, contact us and we will prepare it for you.
03
Select the data source
To start, it can be manual editing, a TXT, CSV, XML, HTML file or a website address with rates.
04
Check the result on screen
Pair a TV, monitor or tablet and make sure rates, currency order and board appearance match your location workflow.
Frequently asked questions
No. Exchange office software is only one possible source. Buy and sell rates can come from a file, the DCR Online panel or a selected website.
DCR Integrator can read buy and sell rates from TXT, CSV, XML and HTML files if the file contains data needed to recognize currencies and rate values.
Yes. In the configuration you select a data source: a file on disk or a website address. DCR reads buy and sell rate values and then matches them to the board settings.
In integration settings, map source names to supported currencies when they differ from standard currency codes.
Yes. After rates are sent to DCR Online, you can display current data on several paired screens or in different locations.
No. The integrator is intended for importing buy and sell rates. Average rates in DCR Online are handled by a separate mechanism.
Not always. Websites with a clear HTML structure and clearly described rate values work best. If a page has many different rates, advanced JavaScript, presents rates as graphics or uses non-standard HTML, the data may not be readable or processed correctly automatically.
Contact us with your system and how it provides rates, such as API or file export. We can assess a custom integration. DCR Integrator is not a universal client for every API.
