It's a common question to ask what are the rates that the accelerator can generate.  The table below lists the rates that are natural for the accelerator.  These are the periodic rates that repeat exactly at the ~0.98 second period of the timing/MPS system.  Of course, we can generate other rates as well that aren't exactly periodic by doing the sort of thing you described - dropping shots or irregular sequences.  This has been useful for the OPCPA laser development in deciding the exact frequencies they will support.
