DataSight has been designed to ensure that data stored within DataSight can easily be shared or disseminated to other systems. Our design focuses on data management and pulling data in human readable format from instruments and other systems to reduce the complexity and increase the connectivity of DataSight. All of DataSight’s data tables have data stored in human readable formats, while meta data, such as video’s and photographs are stored in industry standard electronic formats with all file properties intact.
DataSight easily links to many third-party products simply by using industry standards such as XML and ODBC connectivity. DataSight is not a replacement for a statistical package or a fully featured GIS product, however it has been designed to create leverage off these software products.
You can elect to create native Microsoft SQL Views of your saved datasheets, as set in DataSight Options. Industry based database connections such as OLE and ODBC can then be connected directly to the back end of DataSight Microsoft SQL Tables, provided you have the correct permission to do so.
DataSight can also be linked to proprietary DataSight systems, DSWeb and DSApp. DSWeb is used for the dissemination of your DataSight data to any stakeholder through a web browser, while DSApp can be used capture field measurements on a mobile device.
