Briefly, embodiments of methods and/or systems of sampling output signal traces by one or more function processors for storage into timeslot arrays are disclosed. In one embodiment, responsive to availability of a connection to an external communications network, computed results of function processing may be conveyed along the external communication network. Responsive to loss of communications to the external communications network, computed parameters may be stored in one or more timeslot arrays, signal sampling intervals, timeslot durations, and transmission frequency to be independent from one another.
