Hello, how do I make the ut210e beep in diode mode?

The UT-210 does not do that. It will just show the diode junction voltage. Typically between 0,5 and 0,8 Volt for silicon diodes. LEDs have more, depending on its colour. Old-school germanium diodes have less, about 0,3V.

I thought this model was hacked, even scope output was added. Is there no fix to beep on diode mode? checking diodes for short it's not nice to have to look at the LCD every time, sound indicator would be better.
