What's new in 0.2.0-beta
Engineering conversion joins the SignalBench workflow
This release adds an Engineering Converter for common industrial pressure units and expands SignalBench's instrumentation scaling tools.
4–20
Instrumentation scaling
Work with 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, and 0–5 V signals, percent-of-span, and generalized linear engineering-range calculations.
OFF
Still offline
SignalBench remains a local desktop engineering tool with no account, telemetry, advertising, or cloud dependency.
Purpose-built
Industrial utility without unnecessary complexity
SignalBench is designed around the work technicians and engineers perform at a machine, workbench, control panel, or commissioning site.
UNIT
Engineering Converter
Convert common industrial pressure units quickly while retaining appropriate numerical precision for engineering work.
4–20
Signal and range scaling
Convert 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, and 0–5 V signals to percent or arbitrary engineering ranges without hiding underrange and overrange values.
LOC
Local and private
The application runs offline. It requires no account, contains no advertising, and does not transmit calculation or equipment information.
Installation
Run the Linux AppImage
SignalBench uses a Type 2 AppImage. Some Ubuntu systems require the FUSE 2 compatibility library before the AppImage can launch.
Ubuntu 22.04 / 23.10
Install libfuse2
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libfuse2
Ubuntu 24.04 and newer
Install libfuse2t64
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libfuse2t64
Check your Ubuntu release
Confirm the installed version
cat /etc/os-release | grep -E 'PRETTY_NAME|VERSION_ID'
Download the AppImage
Save NorthRivet-SignalBench-0.2.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage to your Downloads folder.
Make the file executable
chmod +x NorthRivet-SignalBench-0.2.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage
Launch SignalBench
./NorthRivet-SignalBench-0.2.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage
No FUSE installation available?
A compatible Type 2 AppImage can also be tried with:
./NorthRivet-SignalBench-0.2.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run
Desktop launch: Most Linux file managers also provide an
“Allow executing file as program” or equivalent permission in file properties.
File integrity
Verify the downloaded application
NorthRivet publishes a SHA-256 checksum so the downloaded file can be compared with the original release artifact.
sha256sum -c NorthRivet-SignalBench-0.2.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage.sha256
Expected SHA-256:
4dd8a8b4f8be24322152be92a0c5f4e7706c4d3deea245c3e24edb0e67707203
Privacy and trust
Your calculations remain on your computer.
SignalBench is designed for offline industrial use. It does not require a user account, send telemetry, display advertising, or upload calculation history.
No account
Download and run the application without registration or login.
No telemetry
Application-controlled calculation and equipment data are not transmitted.
Local history
Saved calculations remain in the user’s standard local application-data directory.
Release information
0.2.0-beta beta
Adds the Engineering Converter with industrial pressure conversion, 4–20 mA, 0–10 V and 0–5 V scaling, generalized engineering-range calculations, and the existing offline SignalBench workflow.
Engineering disclaimer: NorthRivet SignalBench is an engineering aid.
It does not replace calibrated instrumentation, required engineering review,
equipment documentation, or applicable safety procedures.
