ArDiRec v0.2.0 — Stable release notes
Published: 3 November 2026
Platforms: Windows 10/11 x64 and Linux x86_64
ArDiRec is an open-source desktop application for hands-on analysis of COMTRADE disturbance recordings.
Highlights
- Inspect synchronized voltage, current, other analog channels, and digital event tracks in one timeline.
- Measure trigger-relative timing using two cursors, signal values and cursor differences.
- Review instantaneous waveforms, one-cycle RMS, phasors, harmonics, impedance trajectories and the value table.
- Display supported protection zones from RIO/XRIO data with explicit limitations for unsupported proprietary constructs.
- Use a compact multi-window workspace with responsive pan/zoom and performance-oriented rendering.
Install
Download the appropriate ZIP from v0.2.0. The Windows archive contains a per-user installer. The Linux archive contains a Debian package and an AppImage. Check the accompanying SHA-256 checksums before installation.
Scope and limitations
This is a Stable distribution of the manual analysis workflow, not a guarantee of exhaustive COMTRADE/vendor compatibility or a certified fault-location system. Unsigned Windows executables may trigger SmartScreen. To report issues, use the issue tracker, and avoid posting confidential field recordings.
