PLECS: Creating Custom Components and Subsystem Masks

This tutorial explains how to create a custom component and component mask using the example of a photovoltaic (PV) string. Masking a subsystem allows users to define a custom interface for a Subsystem block that hides the underlying schematic, making it appear as a single component with its own icon and parameter window. This tutorial also gives a brief introduction to the programming language Lua that is used to implement dynamic component masks.
