In typical TOR-5 implementations, the system continues to operate autonomously even if the connection to the server is temporarily lost. The local controller keeps measuring and storing all parameters in its internal memory, so no diagnostic information is lost during communication outages. Once the connection is restored, the buffered data are transmitted to the server and added to the historical trends. The display on the server side may pause or freeze, but the measurement process itself is continuous and independent of on-demand data requests.
