Carefully pry open the plastic enclosure of your LCR-T7. Locate the microcontroller chip and the adjacent unpopulated programming pads. These pads correspond to the standard In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) interface: (Power) GND (Ground) RESET SCK (Serial Clock) MISO (Master In Slave Out) MOSI (Master Out Slave In) Step 2: Connect the Programmer
