Click Interval Configuration
⏱️ Precision Timing Control
Configure exact timing between clicks using four time units: hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. The application calculates the total interval automatically and enforces safety limits.
Time Unit Breakdown
🕐 Hours Field
Range: 0-23 hours
Use Case: Long-duration periodic tasks
Example: Hourly monitoring checks
Enter “1” for 1-hour intervals
⏰ Minutes Field
Range: 0-59 minutes
Use Case: Medium-duration intervals
Example: Regular application checks
Enter “15” for 15-minute intervals
⏱️ Seconds Field
Range: 0-59 seconds
Use Case: Standard automation timing
Example: UI testing sequences
Enter “5” for 5-second intervals
⚡ Milliseconds Field
Range: 100-999 milliseconds
Use Case: High-frequency clicking
Example: Gaming or rapid automation
Enter “250” for quarter-second intervals
Interval Calculation Formula
Total Interval = (Hours × 3600) + (Minutes × 60) + Seconds + (Milliseconds ÷ 1000) Example Calculation: Hours: 0, Minutes: 1, Seconds: 30, Milliseconds: 500 Total = (0 × 3600) + (1 × 60) + 30 + (500 ÷ 1000) Total = 0 + 60 + 30 + 0.5 = 90.5 seconds
Common Interval Examples
| Purpose | Hours | Minutes | Seconds | Milliseconds | Total Time | Clicks/Minute |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-Speed Gaming | 0 | 0 | 0 | 100 | 0.1 seconds | 600 |
| Rapid Automation | 0 | 0 | 0 | 500 | 0.5 seconds | 120 |
| Standard Testing | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 seconds | 30 |
| Careful Navigation | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 seconds | 12 |
| Periodic Monitoring | 0 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 10 minutes | 0.1 |
| Hourly Tasks | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 hour | 0.017 |
Safety Limits & Validation
⚠️ Automatic Safety Protection
- Minimum Interval: 100 milliseconds (automatically enforced)
- Maximum Rate: 600 clicks per minute (safety cutoff)
- Input Validation: Invalid entries automatically corrected
- Overflow Protection: Prevents system overload
Best Practices for Interval Setting
🎯 Target Application Considerations
- Web browsers: 1-3 seconds minimum
- Desktop applications: 0.5-2 seconds
- Games: Check ToS, usually 100-500ms
- System utilities: 2-5 seconds
📊 Performance Guidelines
- Start conservative, increase speed gradually
- Monitor system performance during use
- Test intervals with target applications
- Consider network delays for web test automation
Troubleshooting Interval Issues
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks too fast | Interval too short | Increase seconds or milliseconds values |
| Clicks too slow | Interval too long | Decrease time values or use milliseconds only |
| Automatic stopping | Safety limit exceeded | Increase minimum interval to 200ms or higher |
| Inconsistent timing | System performance | Close other applications, increase intervals |
