Worked Example
default_test
Given:
- t_scan = 0.5
- tau_fce = 0.8
- tau_sens = 0.4
- tau_logic = 0.15
Expected Result:
- total_interlock_response_time = 1.85
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: total_interlock_response_time = 1.85 s.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
