In this regard, <strong>DAT instruments<\/strong> manufacture instrumentation that measure, display and record data, as well as instruments that measure and display data without recording.<\/p>\n<p>The instruments which measure and visualize data are important to provide the customer with real time data in order to increase operators\u2019 responsiveness, following the right path.<\/p>\n<p>Recording is important to <strong>show evidence<\/strong> of the work in progress to the <strong>Contractors<\/strong> or to the <strong>Project supervision companies<\/strong>, in order to track what has been achieved and for future analysis in office.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">THIRD STEP: AUTOMATION<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is also necessary to understand if the Customer wishes to automate his work. Automation is helpful to make perfect work minimizing the possibilities of human errors. <strong>It is possible to design the project of work in the office<\/strong> and to transfer the setting into the datalogger, in order to let the datalogger perform the required operations.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">THE CHOICE OF THE PRODUCT<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following table lists the characteristics suggested by <strong>DAT instruments<\/strong> for the different kinds of techniques.
