FAT stands for fully automatic timing, what this means is that the time starts on the flash from the starters pistol or some other visual starting device. and individual timers stom their clock when a runner finishes. With handtiming timers use a standard stopwatch which they start and stop, which makes fat better because the margin of error is less
