# Tool Configuration - Vibrator

Tools equipped with a vibrator can be configured to emit vibrations for different signals.

The vibrator is configured by assigning a vibration pattern to a signal selected from a list. A vibration signal can have a priority between 1 and 10, where 1 is the highest priority and 10 the lowest. By default a signal and vibration have the priority 5.

A vibration signal runs until termination unless it is interrupted by a signal with higher priority.
