9The haptics API allows for the control of haptic driver devices for the
10purposes of performing haptic feedback events.
11
12During a haptic feedback event the haptic device drives a signal to an
13actuator. The source of the haptic event signal varies depending on the
14capabilities of the haptic device.
15
16Some examples of haptic signal sources are analog signals, preprogrammed
17(ROM) wavetables, synthesized (RAM) wavetables, and digital audio streams.
18
19Additionally, haptic driver devices often offer controls for adjusting and
20tuning the drive signal to meet the electrical requirements of their respective
21actuators.
