Specifying Neural Network output range to either 0 or1

Hello

I have two questions

1. When I train my data with Neural Network, I want the answer to be either 0 or 1, because it means "Faulty/Non-faulty". I used "softmax" & "tansig" for output and hidden layer, Although the out put is really near 1 and 0 but they are not crisp. how can I get exact 1 and 0 output.

2. I tried to change the number of epochs, but whenever I run the program, it runs for 1000 iterations

Thanks In advance

1. With only 2 classes you can replace softmax with logsig for training and use. Then either

 a. Use round: help round, doc round
or
 b. Replace logsig with hardlim: help hardlim, doc hardlim

2. net.trainParam.epochs = 100;

Hope this helps.

Thank you for formally accepting my answer
