Insert a 3-pin shorting bar (or jumper wires) into test slots 1, 2, and 3.
If your LCR T7 is more than two years old and you’re experiencing:
The tester will ask for a high-quality capacitor (usually greater than 100nF) to complete the calibration of the internal reference voltage. Insert the requested capacitor into slots 1 and 3 to finish the process. lcr t7 firmware link

Updating your LCR-T7 can turn a budget tester into a professional-grade tool. By using the GitHub LCR-T7 firmware link provided above, you gain access to a community of developers constantly improving the device's capabilities. Insert a 3-pin shorting bar (or jumper wires)
If you want to move forward with upgrading your component tester, let me know:
: After any firmware update, you must perform a self-test by shorting terminals 1, 2, and 3 and following the on-screen prompts to ensure accuracy. 👉 https://github
A cheap USBasp programmer or an Arduino Uno configured as an "ArduinoISP" is perfect.
Upgrading the firmware can improve accuracy and add features like a rotary encoder or advanced menus. LCR T7 - Multi-Function Tester
