 The Event_TPR_Signal command performs pattern recognition on a signal by scanning the trial for segments that match a **Target Pattern Recognition (TPR) file**. When a segment of the trial is sufficiently similar to the pattern, an event is placed at the frame of best match. The Event_TPR_Signal command performs pattern recognition on a signal by scanning the trial for segments that match a **Target Pattern Recognition (TPR) file**.

-==== Examples ====+===== Examples ===== 
 +The following examples will show the use of the Event_TPR_Signal command in the Visual3D application.
  
-===Example 1=== +====Example 1: Matching Opposite-side Gait Events====
-Detect a standard EMG activation burst by comparing current data to a stored EMG waveform.+
  
 +In some cases, users may already have events defined for one side of the participant's body- instead of having to redefine these events for the opposite side, let this command use the Target Pattern Recognition feature to identify them automatically. The following steps can be taken for this example:
  
-===Example 2===+**1.** As you can see, a .c3d file is loaded in which contains ONLY **Left-side** events. 
 + 
 +{{:visual3d:documentation:pipeline:event_commands:only_left_events_shown.png?300|}} 
 + 
 +**2.** Either in the command dialog box, or within the text editor, enter the following details, this is converting the Left Heel Strike event to the same on the Right Side: 
 + 
 +|{{:visual3d:documentation:pipeline:event_commands:event_tpr_ex1.png?400|}}|<code> 
 +Event_TPR_Signal 
 +/SIGNAL_TYPES=LINK_MODEL_BASED 
 +! /SIGNAL_FOLDER=ORIGINAL 
 +/SIGNAL_NAMES=R Hip Angle 
 +/PATTERN_FILE=[USER SELECTION] 
 +/PATTERN_TYPE=LINK_MODEL_BASED 
 +! /PATTERN_FOLDER=ORIGINAL 
 +/PATTERN_SIGNAL=L Hip Angle 
 +/PATTERN_EVENT_NAME=LHS 
 +! /PATTERN_EVENT_INSTANCE=1 
 +/SELECT_X=TRUE 
 +! /SELECT_Y=FALSE 
 +! /SELECT_Z=FALSE 
 +! /TPR_WINDOW=7 
 +! /TOLERANCE=20.0 
 +/EVENT_NAME=RHS 
 +; 
 +</code>| 
 + 
 +For the **Pattern File**, I have it set for the trial which contains the pre-determined events. This will essentially be applying the same logic that goes for one side of the participant's body to the other. 
 + 
 +After this pipeline command has been run, the RHS event will begin to show as well. However, if you were to graph the R Hip Angle, you may notice that there are many more occurrences than expected, the number of frames being evaluated may need to be changed in order to better represent the number of occurrences. The following adjustment was made: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +/TPR_WINDOW=30 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +The following image shows both the Left and Right Hip Angles with the highlighted events (Blue- LHS, Red- RHS):

Then, save a refined version of this event’s pattern and evaluate how well it aligns with the force plate contact (`RHS`). Automatically detect right foot strike during running using the Y-axis acceleration of the right ankle, based on a template waveform.
