Access Array Information

I have been trying for some time to figure out how to access information in the view using the php code. I was able to get regular info by using print var_dump($data, TRUE) to get all the available fields listed. I then navigate to each field dereferencing the array as I go with this statement print var_dump($data->field_field_equipmenttype[0]['raw'], TRUE). I am not sure if this is the correct or intended way or now. I also use a lot of reference content utilizing Node Reference. I have equipment with a node reference of type. To get to the title of the referenced node i had to use this code print var_dump($data->field_field_equipmenttype[0]['raw']['node']->title, TRUE);. When you are dereferencing the array if you run into object(stdClass) that is returning an object and you need to use '->' to get to the next value. If this is not he right way to get to this data then please let me know. I have a variable $row->field_equipmenttype that should return this data but does not. Hope this helps someone or someone will correct me.

Below is my actual array that I am navigating
