VBusTouch is a software especially designed for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch. It displays both live data and progression charts of the solar system at any place in the world, provided that the system is run by a RESOL controller equipped with a VBus® interface and a datalogger connected to the Internet via LAN. If the iPhone or the iPod touch are in portrait orientation, a hydraulic scheme and live data of the system are displayed. As soon as the device is turned into landscape orientation, the integrated accelerometer switches to the display of a progression chart.
