1. A method, comprising:
determining a first measured value by a first measuring method;
determining a second measured value by a second measuring method;
determining for each of the first and second measured values first and second provisional measured values, respectively;
receiving first and second data for integrity of the first and second determined provisional measured values, respectively;
merging the first and second provisional measured values to produce a combined measured value and information on an integrity of the combined measured value;
selecting at least one of the first provisional measured value, second provisional measured value, and the combined measured value for further processing based on
the first data for integrity, the second data for integrity, and the integrity of the combined measured value, and
a period of time during which the first provisional measured value, second provisional measured value, and the combined measured value respectively meet specified integrity requirements.
