TL;DR
Taking some measurements but have few questions about the equations
Hello :

I am doing some measurements on an objects( deffrent part of it) , measuring a scalar quantity , dose the outcome is a gradient of that quantity?

Or should I take the gradient of it then start to study the changes in the quantity
I didn't mentioned more details

Doing some measurement on an object , studying a scelare quantity of that object and I have now a Data set , but I don't know is this data is a gradient of the quantity I am measuring or should I take the gradient of the data then continue my calculation
 
This is pretty much the same as the OP. Either you don't want to tell what you are actually doing, in a specific way, or you don't know yourself. In both cases it's very difficult for someone else to help. By "specific" I mean what are you measuring and why are you measuring it, as a minimum of information.
