Ok, thanks.
Tried the attached FW file, but any flashing attempts results in 'update failed'... Are there any special steps to be taken for flashing - especially since the unit may see it as a version downgrade?

Just ignore the errormessage and dont reboot.
Simply telnet the unit at the specified port.
It helps to have notet the IP of the unit first. ;)
After reboot, the unit is back to its normal state.
There is nothing really installed by this ADS file.

Ah, now that's a clever hack! :)
As I've now have backups of my calibration files, I've succesfully flashed the SDM3055X-E patched FW, and it seems to still be in spec with a calibrated voltage source (0.01% on DC voltage), so it still has (at least) that measurement calibrated - I don't have any other precise references to test...
As noted by previous posters, the device shows as SDM3045X. Also, new features added to the 3045X are not (yet) present on the 3055X-E FW, most notably the custom temperature sensor (and I assume the bugfixes, as well :) ).

I am still curious, if the suggested "reverse hack" from tv84 really works. Afaik, he does not have the unit himself:

If you would try this, I would be interested in the result.

If you're asking about getting back to being an SDM3045X, yes. It works, as does the hack to make the SDM3045X be an SDM3055X-W.

As the other 99% devices I talk about... :-DD
