Beta versions

This page is used to introduce and explain the beta versions of WhatPulse. Beta versions are pre-release versions of the software that are made available to users for testing and feedback before the final release.

WhatPulse 6.1 beta​

Geek Window formulas​

The Geek Window supports formulas that let you perform arithmetic on your stats. This allows you to create custom computed displays like keys per hour, combined statistics, or percentages.

Syntax​

Formulas use {= ... } delimiters within label text:

{= expression }

You can mix static text and formulas in the same label:

Keys/hr: {= %TodayKeys% / (%TodayUptime% / 3600) }
Combined: {= %LocalKeys% + %TotalKeys% }
Ratio: {= (%LocalKeys% / %TotalKeys%) * 100 }%

Supported operators​

  • + addition
  • - subtraction (and unary minus)
  • * multiplication
  • / division
  • () parentheses for grouping

Result formatting​

  • Whole numbers display without decimals, e.g. 1,234
  • Fractional results display with 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.14
  • Formatting is locale-aware (uses your system's number formatting)

Errors​

If a formula contains an error, it displays #ERR instead of a result. Common causes:

  • Division by zero (e.g. {= 1 / 0 })
  • Unknown or misspelled variable name
  • Missing closing parenthesis
  • Invalid syntax (e.g. {= 1 + })

Common formula recipes​

Here are some example formulas you can use in the Geek Window:

  Keys per hour today
  See how fast you're typing during today's session.
  {= %TodayKeys% / (%TodayUptime% / 3600) } keys/hr

  Clicks as a percentage of total input
  Find out what proportion of your input is clicks vs keys.
  {= (%LocalClicks% / (%LocalClicks% + %LocalKeys%)) * 100 }% clicks

  Combined unpulsed and total keys
  Show your true all-time key count including what hasn't been pulsed yet.
  {= %LocalKeys% + %TotalKeys% } total keys

  Download speed in MB/s
  Convert the raw byte rate into something more readable.
  {= %LocalDownloadRate% / 1048576 } MB/s

  Mouse distance in meters
  Convert inches to metric.
  {= %LocalDistance% * 0.0254 } m

  Mouse distance in kilometers (total)
  See your all-time mouse travel in km.
  {= %TotalDistance% * 0.0000254 } km

  Click-to-key ratio
  How many clicks do you make for every keypress?
  1:{= %TotalKeys% / %TotalClicks% } click:key

  Unpulsed data as percentage of total
  See how much of your total stats are sitting unpulsed.
  {= (%LocalKeys% / (%LocalKeys% + %TotalKeys%)) * 100 }% unpulsed

  Average keys per day
  Based on your total stats and total uptime (converted from seconds to days).
  {= %TotalKeys% / (%TotalUptime% / 86400) } keys/day

  Today's upload in GB
  Convert today's upload bytes to gigabytes.
  {= %TodayUploaded% / 1073741824 } GB up
