Hello people!
I am trying to do this lab https://learn.digilentinc.com/Classroom/RealAnalog/circ1/Labs/4/lab4p5p1.pdf and I am having trouble measuring the Voc. So if I have no RL as shown in the schematic and try to measure the voltage across terminal A to B my Diligent Waveforms program automatically shuts off one of the sources stating there is too much current. How to I measure Voc while avoiding too much current? Is there something I need to actually put in place of the resistor?

Thanks!

Does it shut it off before you attempt to make the measurement, or only after you make the attempt?

Are you sure that your meter is configured as a voltmeter and not an ammeter?
