A measurement method and system in which a plurality of sensors are scattered about the system. One or more universal data concentrators are deployed in the areas where the sensors are concentrated. Each data concentrator is connected to one or more computers. Unique configuration data is provided to each data concentrator for its unique sensor type complement. Each data concentrator configures itself based on its configuration data. This allows the use of a universal data concentrator and, thus, one part number.
