Real-time Desktop Manager (RDM) is a computer program that manages displays and application programs. RDM was developed for use in connection with NASA’s remote manipulator system (RMS) group of flight controllers; it could also be used in chemical plants, laboratories, factories, hospitals, and other settings where it is necessary to monitor many data streams. The RDM displays are datadriven, and color is used to indicate the criticality of a display. There are other programs that perform such functions, but they are very expensive and, unlike RDM, do not afford graphical capabilities.
