Patterns
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.
If a base accelerator rate is chose (e.g. 33kHz) then other rates having the same prime factors as the accelerator rate are allowed:

Other Notes
From a discussion with Matt on 10/3/2022
- 288 bits of "event codes":
- some have well-defined meanings (in progress)
- 16 highest bits are hutch specific for sequences
- DAQ readout groups are "extra bits" included at end of timing frame
- timing frames have destinations: e.g. bykiks, and bykikh both go to "bsy" dump
- we will not be using event-codes for bykiks: use destinations instead
- timing arrives 100us prior to beam
- accelerator max rate is 13/14MHz=929kHz
- 910kHz vs. 928kHz, 71428 is common between LCLS1 and LCLS2
- 928kHz is max rate, but accelerator pattern repeats every 910k buckets
- can trigger on power-line synchronized markers (1,5,10,3,60Hz...)
- timing trigger types:
- sequences
- ac-line rate (1,5,10,30Hz...)
- fixed-rate patterns (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 71kHz, 929kHz)
- need to coordinate hutch sequence-pattern scripts with accelerator sequence-pattern
