The Timing Pattern Receiver (TPR) is an application that replaced the Event Receiver (EVR) for LCLS-II and its purpose is to generate triggers for control, data acquisition and other purposes.  There are two main flavors in which this application is deployed: (i) as a PCIe board and (ii) as an ATCA board.  The IOC described here is for a PCIe card.  The TPR operates at a faster rate than the EVR (i.e. higher bandwidth), has a more compact frame and also has an LCLS-I timing fiber input, thus allowing it to switch to an LCLS-I operating mode if needed.

The PCIe TPR can provide up to 12 hardware triggers and/or channels.  A channel is a source for a trigger and can be AND-ed or OR-ed with its adjacent channel.  The user is also able to control --besides rate-- polarity, delay and width.
