5.8 Waveform Memory
The Waveform Memory stores haptic drive sequences. A single haptic effect is called a sequence
and each sequence is formed by one or more frames that address one or more snippets stored in
memory. The overall Waveform Memory structure is described in detail in Section 5.8.1;
Sections 5.8.2 to Section 5.8.4 provide definitions for snippets, frames, and sequences.
NOTE
It is recommended that the Dialog SmartCanvas GUI is used to construct sequences and upload them to the
Waveform Memory. The easy to use GUI provides intuitive visualization of the sequences in the Waveform
Memory and requires only basic knowledge of the overall memory format.
5.8.1 Waveform Memory Structure
The waveform memory structure has a 100-byte capacity for storing snippets, frames, and
sequences. Sequences reference the snippets using frames to allow complex haptic sequences to
be created in a memory efficient manner. The overall structure of the Waveform Memory can be
seen in Figure 24. For Waveform Memory programming, see Section 5.6.4.
