- sumtechguy 3y agoI had a wince proj that someone had used that thing and did not understand the 'pulse' part of that. Where it could go off but if nothing was waiting it would not signal. So they were really confused why sometimes their home grown event queue would be delayed until another event went off and it would drain their queue.
