The rCloud app runs the equipment we manufacture, over a WiFi connection or iDevice hotspot. It is used to run industry specified tests, and then saves the results of the tests locally on the device and to a backend database in the cloud via Azure. The tests are not accessible for editing by the user once they are saved (local databases are encrypted). The completed tests can be viewed immediately on the App and also on the rCloud website once they are uploaded to the backend database.
