How Do I Get Started? 

The best way to get started with Fuzzy Logic is to get involved. In order to develop an appreciation for the technology and its benefits you need to try it yourself. Aptronix, the worldwide leader in Fuzzy Logic technology is committed to customer satisfaction and would like to help you succeed using fuzzy logic in your next project in a variety of ways:

Take a closer look at the best price-performance tool in the industry

Aptronix has created Fide, the Fuzzy Inference Development Environment, to help you get started. Fide is a complete application development environment for the design of fuzzy logic-based systems priced from $350 to $3,495. Fide provides engineers with the most effective fuzzy tools in the industry and runs in MS-Windows version 3.0 or later on an IBM-PCTM 386/486 or compatible. Fide requires a minimum of 4 MBytes of RAM to support its advanced graphics and debugging capabilities and at least 5 MBytes of free hard disk space for swap space. In order to effectively use Fide's graphics drawing and color capabilities a mouse and a VGA color monitor are highly recommended, but not required. Finally, Fide's Composer tool requires use of any of Turbo-C 2.0, Borland-C 2.0, Microsoft-C 6.0 (or later versions). Fide version 2.0 supports automatic code generation for the 6805, 68HC05, 68HC11, 68HC16 and 68HC33x Motorola microcontrollers and C code .

Let Aptronix help you learn more about Fuzzy Logic

Aptronix can help you learn more about Fuzzy Logic several ways: application notes, training and information exchanges. Aptronix provides an information exchange Internet-based system called the FuzzyNet, which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can use the FuzzyNet to browse through the latest articles or technical publications about Fuzzy Logic, or deposit some information you consider useful. You can also reach Aptronix by sending Email through Internet at info@aptronix.com.

Aptronix has published a series of application notes which show you how you can use Fide to solve problems related to your specific application. You may choose to request a hard copy or download a Microsoft word document, or an ASCII version from the FuzzyNet. Our application note portfolio is continuously updated. Currently the following application notes are available:

Take advantage of Aptronix's extended support

Fide comes with a complete set of user manuals and diskettes which include examples on how to develop fuzzy logic based applications. The Fide package also includes a registration card which entitles you to 90 days of free telephone support.

For people who want more than help with Fide, Aptronix provides the Extended Support plan for $350.00 per year. This includes help with Fide and advice on how to integrate fuzzy modules designed with Fide into applications to improve speed and performance of your overall system. Or, our support staff can help advanced users of Fide with useful tips and tricks when using Fide. And, if a short description of your application is submitted, Aptronix can provide an analysis of the fuzzy inference units you have designed and recommendations on how to optimize the performance of your controller.

Aptronix also provides Custom Engineering services on a contractual basis for customers who would like us to design and implement complete solutions. Aptronix's R&D staff has a long standing reputation of excellence for the advanced solutions delivered to major manufacturers worldwide. Aptronix technology is currently being used in several commercial applications.
