Description

Set up a for loop from 0 to 5 in 0.1
steps (inclusive).

Set the voltage level to the iteration
number.

Store the source configuration to
sweepVals.

End the for loop.

Create a block to load sweepVals
at the first index.

Create a block to turn the output on.

Create a block to wait on digital line
3.

Create a block to delay for 0.01
seconds.

Create a block to make a
measurement.

Create a block to load the next
index of sweepVals.

Create a block to branch to block 4,
50 times.

Create a block to generate the
notify2 event.

Create a block to branch to block 3,
three times.

Create a block to turn the output off.

Initiate the trigger model.

Wait for the model to complete.

Initiate the trigger model.

Wait for the model to complete.

Create an empty array to hold
measured voltage values.

Create an empty array to hold
measured current values.

Set up a for loop from 2 to 5
(including 5).

Save the sourced and measured
values to the arrays vds and ids,
respectively. The readings from
each step are saved at each index
in the array.

End the for loop.
