What I am hearing is that I should avoid both "perform" and "do," and reword any sentences that use them.
Re this particular reword --- the focus of this discussion is not on testing a capacitor, it's on using the Simple Loop trigger model (which is a new concept).
So this would have to reword to "This example uses the Simple loop trigger model to test a capacitor."
