The basic principle of this :ref:`node` is simple: it takes in external pulses on its FMC-TDC
inputs, timestamps them using WR time and converts them to WRTD :ref:`Messages <message>`, to be
sent over the WR network.
Architecture and performances are similar to :ref:`svec_ref_tdc_fd`. The node has 10 :ref:`Local Input Channels <local_channel>` are mapped to the five inputs of each FMC-TDC.
