HaptiSync Center - Haptic Output Settings details

This article provides more details on the settings included in the Haptic Output section.

Haptic Settings
Mute haptics	This toggle switch quickly stop or start the haptics. The haptic system is powered.
Link Both Intensity Sliders	This toggle switch links the two intensity sliders so they can be modified simultaneously.
Haptic Movement Intensity	This slider is used to increase or reduce the Haptic Movement Intensity. Scale is in dB (decibels), which is not a linear measurement. Each 10 dB increase roughly doubles the perceived intensity of the movement.
Haptic Vibration Intensity	This slider is used to increase or reduce the Haptic Vibration Intensity. Scale is in dB (decibels), which is not a linear measurement. Each 10 dB increase roughly doubles the perceived intensity of the vibration.
Advanced Configuration
Output Buffer Latency	For optimal performance, set the slider to zero. If you notice unexpected "ticks" caused by motion discontinuity, you may need to increase the Output Buffer Latency depending on your computer's performance.
Platform Optimization	In most cases, leave this setting on "Automatic detection" to maximize your experience. The software will optimize your haptic stream to reproduce the full range of designed haptic effects for your specific seat. However you might want to select a specific optimization instead of Automatic detection if: You have an older system with 2 actuators (exact configuration may be required for automatic detection, especially for seats with 2 front actuators like the Jaymar seat). You have a combination of chained haptic systems (2 or more) with a mix of 1, 2, or 3-4 actuators and you don’t want to use the optimization based on the seat with the fewest actuators in the chain. Specific optimization settings: For 2 front actuators: Select Optimize for 2 front actuators (direct) to enhance your haptic experience, except for home theater seats like Jaymar, where you should select Optimize for 2 front actuators. For 2 rear actuators: Choose Optimize for 2 rear actuators to enhance your haptic experience. For mixed chained systems (setups with multiple connected haptic systems having different numbers of actuators): If you want to optimize for systems with 3 or 4 actuators, select Optimize for 3+ actuators. Note that Automatic detection will optimize for the smallest number of actuators in the chain. For single-actuator systems: (e.g., Cooler Master Motion 1 gaming chair), select either Optimize for 1 front actuator or Automatic detection.
Idle Position	This setting allows you to choose your sleep mode options. It activates after 1 minute of inactivity: Park: Lowers the haptic system to the ground. The haptic system is unpowered and in the low position. Hold Center:Maintains the haptic system at half-stroke. The haptic system is powered and in the middle position (not available when using a KAI-1P). Hold Low: Lowers the haptic system to the ground. The haptic system is powered and in the low position (not available when using a KAI-1P).
Actuator Layout Rotation	This setting allows you to quickly modify the orientation of the haptic system without using the System Configurator. It is intended solely for the G5 Motion Platforms (Mercedes-Benz or Mercedes-AMG) for use in Sim Racing and Home Theater applications. For all other products, keep this setting set to None. If you are using a G5 Motion Platform for Sim Racing, leave the Actuator Layout Rotation setting set to None. If you are using a G5 Motion Platform for Home Theater purposes, adjust the Actuator Layout Rotation to either 90 degrees Left or 90 degrees Right, depending on your setup.
Actuator Stroke	This setting applies only to haptic systems with 3" or 6" actuators. You should leave it on Automatic unless you want to limit the travel of your 3” and 6” actuators.
