A patient monitor has an information processor, an information display, a control or selector, at least two sensor sockets, and at least two patient sensors. The information processor is programmable and re-programmable according to a user's requirements. The sockets are substantially identical with a number of socket connectors and are electrically connected in parallel with one another. One of the sensors monitors one aspect of a patient's condition and generates a signal to the information processor accordingly. A second sensor monitors a second aspect of a patient's condition and generates a signal to the information processor accordingly. Each of the patient sensors plugs into any of the sensor sockets. The sensor sockets and the sensors have connectors that connect when the sensors are plugged into the sockets. Not all of the connectors are used by a sensor, however, so the patient monitor identifies and differentiates each sensor not by which socket it is plugged into, but by which plug and socket connectors are used.
