A consultation with HyperX is a question and answer session, where the expert system will try to test as many Rules as it can in order to reach a Conclusion. The first Rule tested will always be Rule 1. HyperX uses a combination of backward and forward chaining until it reaches a final Conclusion, or tests every Rule. To begin the consultation, press the light bulb button located on the Smart Card. You can follow the actions of the inference engine by watching the different fields on the Smart Card change during the consultation.
