Description
I encountered a ConnectionResetError while controlling an Oxford Instruments Triton fridge using the QCoDeS interface. The traceback for the error is attached as below.
[connectionerrormessage.docx](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/19317519/connectionerrormessage.docx)
I have tried increasing the timeout before setting the field, adding a delay between commands but the issue persists.
Question:
Has anyone experienced similar issues when controlling the Triton magnet power supply via Qcodes?
Are there known fixes or best practices to prevent the connection from being reset?
Is there a recommended way to handle this in QCoDeS (e.g., reconnecting if the connection is lost)?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start by reading the attached connectionerrormessage.docx and tracing the QCoDeS interface used for the Triton magnet power supply; no source file or test is named. Reproduce the connection reset with the same setup, then document a confirmed cause or handling fix and add coverage if the project supports a suitable test.
