WhatPulse

A “pulse” is the term used by WhatPulse to define the action of transferring the key and mouse clicks count from the WhatPulse client to the WhatPulse official servers. The WhatPulse client, which is running on your computer, has to communicate with the server to tell how many keyboard key clicks and mouse clicks you have done.

WhatPulse uses this technique to prevent unnecessary communications to the server and to preserve your bandwidth. It would simply be unsustainable to have the client communicate to the server every time that you pressed on a key or clicked on your mouse.

The pulsing frequency is controlled by the user, which means you. You can manually pulse by double-clicking the WhatPulse client’s icon in notification area (The icon look like a black letter “W”). You can also set your client to automatically pulse.

To set your client to automatically pulse, go into the WhatPulse Program Settings. You can access them by right-clicking on the WhatPulse icon in the notification area and selecting Program Settings from the pop-up menu. From that window, you can define WhatPulse to automatically pulse every time a number of clicks have been made, or to pulse every hour.  A common setting would be to set it pulse every time 3000 keys have been made. If you type a lot, 5000 would be the ideal setting.
