How do I measure the output of a solar PV array in Simulink

Hi. I am very new to matlab and simulink and i am would like to know how can i measure the output voltage and current of a solar PV array?
I have already given a constant input irradiance of 1000 W/m^2 via the ps converter into the PV array (subsystem box) but would now like to know where to go from there?
Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated :)

you can use current measurement in series and voltage measurement parallel block.
Excuse me sir, I had used inbuilt PV array, in the block parameters i got the plots of I-V and P-V. But I would like to measure the output voltage with respect to time such that I had used voltage measurement block. While I measured i got 0 volts orele a very small in decimals (e.g., 0.88) i put load as Vmp/Imp
Would please suggest me what should I do
Regards

PS converter is used to convert unitless signal to physical signal suitable for simpowersystem. Below attached file will help you.
