File menu

File | Change password
This is where you can change your current ACE password.
File | Settings
This is where you set the Updating interval parameter, i.a. the time interval at which ACE Pulse updates the realtime information in the windows. Can be anything from 10 seconds upwards. Recommended value is 30-60 seconds. If the value is on the low side, for example just 10 seconds, there is a risk that the updating will take place so often that it loads the network or the system too much.
File | Exit
One of the possible ways to log out and close the application.
