Claim 13:
14. A system, comprising:
a first sensor device that monitors a first aircraft hardware component using a first function; and
a second sensor device that monitors a second aircraft hardware component using a second function that is different from the first function, wherein the first aircraft hardware component and the second aircraft hardware component are different hardware components;
in response to a first determination that the second sensor device is no longer monitoring the second aircraft hardware component, the first sensor device is enabled to monitor the second aircraft hardware component using a third function, wherein the third function and the second function are a same function; and
the first sensor device generates first monitored information associated with the first aircraft hardware component based on the first function and a first signal from a sensing element and, concurrently, generates second monitored information associated with the second aircraft hardware component based on the third function and a second signal from the sensing element.
