Interlocks

A safety limit that acts. When it trips, Phloem drives the outputs you name to safe values. They stay there (latches) until you Reset.

interlock(
    name="over_limit",
    when=lambda: ch["/dut/signal"] > 20,
    then=[set(ch["/out/enable"], False)],  # de-energise the output
)
whenthe condition that trips it
thensafe actions, run the instant it trips

It runs on the machine itself, so a trip acts within milliseconds. It never waits on the network or the UI. An alert notifies; an interlock acts. A stop condition stops the whole test.

Note

Interlock actions use only this machine's channels, so your hardware still trips safe if a peer link drops. To command another device, use a procedure.
