DPI Analyzer Counts?

[Falky]

Hey, love this site. I have a couple of questions in regards to your DPI Analyzer though.

1. Can you explain how the WPS setting works?
2. What is the difference between "actual DPI" and "actual counts"?

Thanks.

PS: I did try and search on the forum for a thread on this topic, but couldn't find anything.

WPS is a modifier to the input from the mouse.

The modifiers are:

1 = 1/32
2 = 1/16
3 = 1/4
4 = 1/2
5 = 3/4
6 = 1
7 = 1.5
8 = 2
9 = 2.5
10 = 3
11 = 3.5

So when the WPS is set to 6, 1 count from the mouse equals 1 pixel in Windows.
If it is set to 8, 1 count equals two pixels.
And if it's set to 2, 16 counts equals 1 pixel and so on.

"Actual DPI" is the DPI of your mouse calculated based on the measurement you do.

The "Actual counts" show you how many counts are registered from the mouse, and it is this value in correlation with the distance that is used to calculate the actual DPI.
