BN Studio
BN Studio is a software platform for Barkhausen noise measurement, setup, analysis, visualization, and data management. It supports applications from routine production inspections to advanced method development and automated quality control.
The software connects the entire Barkhausen noise product family, from portable BN Rollscan analyzers used in field inspections to advanced automated solutions, such as BN RoboScan systems.
Whether performing spot checks in the field or running high-volume automated inspections in production, BN Studio provides scalable user experience and functions in variable measurement scenarios.

Multiparameter option
- Multiparameter BN analysis of the Barkhausen noise signal extends the capabilities of the BN method
- The additional parameters calculated from burst envelope provide detailed information about the BN signal even in dynamic measurements
- Multiparameter values include e.g. burst peak position, peak width and skewness
- The Multiparameter analysis option provides advanced tools for finding defects and anomalies, like microstructural changes and residual stress effects and further improves BN method sensitivity
Extensions
- EasyGear (for GearScan 500, RoboScan S Vertical, and RoboScan XL Vertical) allows the user to create the movement paths and routines for gear testing.
- EasyScan for shafts (for CamScan 500C system) allows the user to create the movement paths and routines for camshaft testing.
