The tpingr instruction processes data returning as a result of the previous execution of a tpings instruction. Execution of the tpingr instruction causes a TPing message to be read from the IOS buffer, if there are any in the buffer. As in the case of the getipp instruction, the TPingData structure is written into the ``soup'' memory at an offset indicated by the value in a register (specified in the opcode.map file) of the CPU.
