A system and method for time constrained retrieval of sensor data includes a sensor monitor system coupled to a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor is coupled to a device having a variety of variable parameters to be sensed at intervals within a given timeframe. When at least some of the parameter values are relatively stable within the intervals, the sensor monitor system selectively requests parameter values from only a subset of the sensors at one or more intervals. However, preferably, a parameter value is obtained for each parameter at least once within the timeframe. In such a case, a current set of parameter values includes the most recently obtained parameter values for each parameter, regardless of the interval from which each parameter value was obtained.
