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.

4–20

Signal scaling

Convert measured 4–20 mA values into engineering units and identify below-range, valid, and above-range conditions.

HMI

Frameless interface

A professional HMI-style layout provides readable values, clear states, and practical operation on industrial displays.

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 SignalBench in three steps

AppImage keeps the application portable and avoids system-wide installation.

Download the AppImage

Save NorthRivet-SignalBench-0.1.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage to your Downloads folder.

Make the file executable

chmod +x NorthRivet-SignalBench-0.1.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage

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-0.1.0-beta-x86_64.AppImage.sha256

Expected SHA-256:

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

0.1.0-beta beta

Initial public Linux beta with the frameless HMI interface, dashboard, 4–20 mA scaling, local calculation history, and offline operation.

Engineering disclaimer: NorthRivet SignalBench is an engineering aid. It does not replace calibrated instrumentation, required engineering review, equipment documentation, or applicable safety procedures.
