Clickometer(TM) (FEATURES.TXT - November 29, 1994) ======================================================================= Requirements: Windows 3.1, 0.5MB of disk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In Brief: -- Counts keystrokes, mouse clicks, mouse travel, and transitions. -- Provides warning notices when warning levels reached. -- Can display up to 24 different real-time digital meters. -- Can display or print 26 different reports. -- Dynamic Link Library can be used with your own programs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Improving workstation ergonomics can greatly reduce workstation related problems such as repetitive-strain injuries (RSI), eyestrain, headaches, Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and other musculoskeletal injuries. In addition, it helps to take work breaks at reasonable intervals. The main purpose of this program is to simply let you know when to take a break based on the level of keyboard and mouse activity. For example, you can tell the program to display a warning notice when you have reached 10,000 keystrokes. It also keeps some cumulative statistics so it can give you a profile of your keystrokes and mouse activity. The program will count the following types of user input: Operation Description ------------ ------------------------------------------------ Key Click Any keystroke (auto-repeat keystrokes are not counted). Mouse Click Pressing any mouse button. Mouse Travel Approximate distance the mouse cursor has traveled on the screen during mouse operations. Transition Any keyboard operation followed by a mouse operation or any mouse operation followed by a keyboard operation. As the program counts the number of keystrokes and mouse operations, you can view the activity in digital meters (like car odometers) that are updated in real-time. You can select one or more of the following meters: Meter Name Description ---------- -------------------------------------------------- xClicks All Clicks since Start xClicks(%) All Clicks since Start (Percent to Warning) xClicks(-) All Clicks since Start (Countdown to Warning) Clicks All Clicks since Reset Clicks(%) All Clicks since Reset (Percent to Warning) Clicks(-) All Clicks since Reset (Countdown to Warning) xKeys Key Clicks since Start xKeys(%) Key Clicks since Start (Percent to Warning) xKeys(-) Key Clicks since Start (Countdown to Warning) Keys Key Clicks since Reset Keys(%) Key Clicks since Reset (Percent to Warning) Keys(-) Key Clicks since Reset (Countdown to Warning) xMouse Mouse Clicks since Start xMouse(%) Mouse Clicks since Start (Percent to Warning) xMouse(-) Mouse Clicks since Start (Countdown to Warning) Mouse Mouse Clicks since Reset Mouse(%) Mouse Clicks since Reset (Percent to Warning) Mouse(-) Mouse Clicks since Reset (Countdown to Warning) xTravel Mouse Travel since Start xTravel(%) Mouse Travel since Start (Percent to Warning) xTravel(-) Mouse Travel since Start (Countdown to Warning) Travel Mouse Travel since Reset Travel(%) Mouse Travel since Reset (Percent to Warning) Travel(-) Mouse Travel since Reset (Countdown to Warning) Since no two people work alike, you can specify your own warning levels. Warning notices can be displayed for the following: 1. All keystrokes and mouse clicks (since start or reset). 2. Keystrokes only (since start or reset). 3. Mouse button clicks only (since start or reset). 4. Mouse travel in current units (since start or reset). Mouse travel can be displayed in millimeters, meters, kilometers, feet, or miles.
