Are there any hacks for Siglent 3303x-e power supply?

Welcome to the forum.
Maybe check your hardware is V6.1 or for an earlier version for which you must use the correct FW version.

Thank you, My Hardware version was V3.0. I am trying to get NI MAX to recognize my PSU but so far I had no luck. I have both the USB and LAN connected, NI MAX can see a USB VISA device but can not do a thing, and it can't see the PSU on LAN although easypower can. Maybe I missed a driver or something?
-Edit:
I installed labview with NI package manager and now I can connect to the PSU with LAN. Maybe something needed was installed along side the labview.

Quite likely.
If you download the free EasyPower SW and read the install instructions, it requires NIVISA Runtime at the least (smaller package than NIVISA full install) for the connectivity drivers.

What is your PC OS ?
Some think they know best and install the incorrect driver especially for USB and that needs be removed and the correct one linked to the device.
Files attached for guidance.

Thanks a lot for the kindness!
I will briefly describe what I have done for future me or anyone interested:
Note: I have a 3303X-E with hardware version 3.0
- Download and install Easypower from Siglent, modify easypower.exe per @optotester's instruction.
- Download and install NI package manager.
- Install NI-VISA, NI MAX, and "LabView and drivers" from NI package manager. (I think it is the "driver" included by "LabView and drivers" that matters.)
- Connect to the PSU via LAN in NI MAX. Once done, the VISA test panel will be available.
- Write the "FACTORY ON" SCPI command per @tv84's instruction. (May not be necessary)
- Upgrade the PSU with this firmware (SPD3303X-1.01.01.02.05.ADS)
- The PSU will reboot and become 3303X
-edit:
I didn't read the Release Notes first. It stated that: "B. < V6.1 hardware version of SPD3303X/X-E do not support upgrading to this version (SPD3303X_V1.01.01.03.10.ADS)". The result was the PSU will boot into the firmware update screen after reboot.

What is the firmware update process for an SPD3303X-E that has been updated with the expanded resolution.
The current condition:
FW shows 1.01.01.02.05
HW version V3.0
Product type SPD3303X
How does one update to the latest FW 1.01.01.02.07R2 without messing up the expanded resolution? Normal SPD3303X update for Siglent or do I need a special file?
