Implementation Reference
- server.py:478-486 (handler)The MCP tool handler for scope_reset. It calls _scope.reset() via the _run helper, sending the *RST SCPI command to reset the oscilloscope to factory defaults.

Transport: SCPI """ return _run(_scope.reset) - oscilloscope.py:418-419 (helper)The underlying LeCroyScope.reset() method that sends the '*RST' SCPI write command to the oscilloscope.
def reset(self) -> None: self.write("*RST") - server.py:126-140 (helper)The _run helper used by scope_reset to execute the reset under the VISA lock, catching errors.

The @mcp.tool() decorator on scope_reset (line 478) registers it as an MCP tool.
