The [`AlicatMC`](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/instruments/flowcontroller/#alicat-mc-series) provides a driver that can be used to instantiate an [InstroFlowController](/flowcontroller).

## Creating an [`InstroFlowController`](/flowcontroller) with [`AlicatMC`](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/instruments/flowcontroller/#alicat-mc-series)

```python theme={null}
from instro.unstable.flowcontroller.drivers import AlicatMC
from instro.unstable.flowcontroller import InstroFlowController
from instro.lib.transports import SerialConfig, TerminatorConfig, VisaConfig

fc = InstroFlowController(
    name="myFlowController",
    driver=AlicatMC(
        VisaConfig(
            visa_resource="<visa_resource>",
            serial_config=SerialConfig(baud_rate=19200),
            terminator=TerminatorConfig(read="\r", write="\r"),
        ),
        device_id="M",
    ),
)
```

Parameters and methods specific to [`AlicatMC`](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/instruments/flowcontroller/#alicat-mc-series) can be found in the [SDK](https://nominal-io.github.io/instro/).
