1. A physiological monitor sensor, comprising:
- a plurality of emitters and a plurality of detectors, at least one of said plurality of emitters and at least one of said plurality of detectors being associated with one of a plurality of peripheral tissue sites and another of said plurality of emitters and another of said plurality of detectors being associated with another tissue site different from said one of a plurality of tissue sites, wherein light transmitted from said emitter through a corresponding one of said plurality of tissue sites is measured by a corresponding detector, and a signal indicative of said measured light is communicated to at least one of a plurality of sensor interfaces that is in communication with a processor having an output comprising a plurality of parameters corresponding to oxygen status or plethysmograph features of said peripheral tissue sites;
a connector in communication with said sensor interfaces; and
a plurality of signal paths attached between at least one of said plurality of emitters and detectors at a first end and said connector at a second end.

Abstract
A patient monitor has multiple sensors adapted to attach to tissue sites of a living subject. The sensors generate sensor signals that are responsive to at least two wavelengths of optical radiation after attenuation by pulsatile blood within the tissue sites.
